    Hmm, that is strange. Did you check your pages with a HTML- or CSS- validator?

    There is a common standard (actually there are more than 1, see
    http://www.w3.org/), but their implementation by browsers leaves some room to
    differ slightly.

    But alas, AFAIK at the present time there is no browser fully compliant with
    the CSS2 standard, and browsers differ in what parts are implemented.

    It just takes some time to comply with standards, and sometimes developers
    develop and implement their own standards, and even think they can get away
    with that (IE). They won't.

    Cheers,

    Leen
