Hey guys,
Take a look at http://personal.djomp.co.uk/blog.php?month=2&year=2004 in IE (I'm on IE6 here). (edit - the problem has been 'fixed' on this page now)
Notice the 'red' box juts out slightly further than the blue one at the top. These should be the same width.
No need to find out what's wrong - I know. In the 'Friday Five' entry, there's a sentence of italic text that wraps onto two lines. If I take this out, it returns to normal. In fact I can go through the archives and find out which months I had a long line of italic text just by looking for this!
What I need to know, is if this is a known problem, and there's a solution, or if I'm stuck with it...

Hi DJomp,
That's strange, I would have expected that behavior from a line of text with no spaces, but I can't see one in your post.
I must be missing something.
Is this the line causing problems

Yep. And a quick browse around the archives will find more pages like this, all with just a long line of italic text...
If you were willing to test things, steal the page, and remove the I tags from that line, which cures it.
It's got me stumped at the moment.
(edit)
Other things - it's also due to the text being justified.
But even if you put loads of padding on the right of the P, it still has the same effect.
I'll try to make a 'simplest version' to help things along.
(edit)
Made it - attached.

Just found this : http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/33653
Basically it's an IE only thing, and since most people 'frown' on justification, they remove that, rather than italics.
Looks like I'll have to change something... would be nice if someone were to find a solution - however since
<div style="text-align : justify; font-style : italic; width : 600px"> and a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long line of italic declared as a span makes no difference </div>breaks the width, it would be tricky to say the least!
