CSS/DW IE Mac

Take a look at this article.....
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/dw2004_cssp_06.html.
The 'Note' on this page has me totally confused. Here is the actual text in
the article; 'Note: Due to layout inconsistencies in Internet Explorer on the
Mac, it can be beneficial to set the padding-right value, in preference to
right value, to 247px. Margin settings are made in the Box category of CSS
options.' OK - I know there are problems with CSS implementation in IE and
IE/Mac but these instructions are not clear at all, not helpful at all. I'd
really like to get the results this article describes on all platforms. Can
anyone expand on this 'Note' a bit - or is the IE/CSS issue so messy that I
should just stick with tables for layout? TIA all help, Thanks, dzash

The note means that instead of using the left position coordinate, (a
positioned element can be positioned top, right, bottom, and/or left), Drew
is recommending that you use the padding-right setting which can be accessed
from the Box category, rather than the Position category panel.

Thanks Murray - I'll try that. I did try a few (dozen) things and did
eventually make the page behave in IE/Mac but then the page would break in
other browsers. I hope your suggestion will settle that dilemna too. D2

Murray - That solves the problem 'sort of'. When I set the position-left
value back to '0' and instead used the padding-right value to keep div#content
on the left of the page, IE/Mac behaved a little better and other browsers
were not affected. A few pixels (and words) in the div#content still
overlapped the sidebar so the solution is not 100%. I have a bad feeling
about this...there may not BE a 100% solution...is there. I'm probably not the
first to encounter this. I appreciate your help and I'll be looking for more of
Drew's CSS tuts. D2

Good luck. Drew is pretty sharp....
