Is this why ThickBox sets all paddings and margins to 0? I agree, it's annoying.
I switched to John's Greybox Redux (http://jquery.com/blog/2006/02/10/ greybox-redux/) for my modal, and I don't see problems on IE6. It also was more semantically correct than Thickbox's iFrame implementation of putting the sizes in the href. -Wayne On Oct 21, 1:04 pm, tallvanilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > (bump) > > Any takers? > > On Oct 20, 7:47 pm, tallvanilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Thanks for the reply, Josh... but that isn't the problem.
