Control over float padding?

#1

The relationship between the width and padding seems to be causing me a
problem. For example, I would like my #contentleft to be 299px wide. I
give #contentleft a width of 219px and padding of 40px 40px 0px 40px.
Looks great on some browsers, while others seem to display the
#contentleft as actually 219px wide. Is there a workaround for this?

You can see the page I am having problems with here:

The css is here:

Thanks a lot for any help,
Brian

Example:
#contentleft
{
width:219px;
height:600px;
padding: 40px 40px 0px 40px;
float:left;
background:#F2F2F2;
}

The only browser that should set the #contentleft at 219px would be
PCIE5x. Is that the browser that is giving you issues?

All other 'modern' browsers should should the width as 299px.

There are IE specific conditional comments that you can put into the
<head> section of the page to make PCIE5x play nicely and show the width
at 299px.

Search google for IE conditional comments and see what turns up.

I've made some more suggestions in your other thread. I see you already
have some IE specific conditional comments in the head of your page.

It really should be a question of just adding #contentleft: 299px; to
the ones targeting IE5x.

I'm sure its IE5x that youre having issues with as all other browser
should show the correct width.
