Hi Carol, With respect, could you clarify what the issue is on the page you've referenced? I'm looking at
http://carol.gimp.org/blog.html in both IE6 and Firefox, and the major differences I see are some spacing variations and the absent img in the "Pattern" box. By the way, I agree that jumping through browser-specific hoops to design webpages is a major pain, and often resent having to take on the pain. But it seems there's sort of a spectrum from lowest-common-denominator-and-works-everywhere design to maximum-bells-and-whistles-and-must-be-tweaked-for- every-browser design. I absolutely do not know where the line should be drawn, but really want to achieve certain effects anyway. Hence the pain 8).
