Hi all,
I'm having a real headache trying to get round the float bugs in IE 5 on the mac. Whenever I have two floats, floated next to each other, the right one always drops below the left one.
An example: http://www.the-lens.co.uk/new/gallery/music1/index.htm
This bug seems to be doing the same on all my website that have two floated columns next to each other. I've look on the net for ie 5 float bugs and can't seem to find the right hack to get around this.. surely there must be a solution?
I will pay whoever the first person is to remedy this wihtout resorting to seperate stylesheets or rules(using the backslah hack) £10.00 via paypal. Please help me!!

Bad float behaviour in IE 5 Mac
Hi stark2k,
IE5 mac puts a default margin of 3px onto all floated elements.
If you explicitly set the margins of all floated elements (margin-left to 0 in #gallery) the problem should disapear.
I don't have a mac to test this on 
Hope that helps

Bad float behaviour in IE 5 Mac
hi tony,
Check out the margin thing, and unfortunatly it hasn't done anything, i'm still thinking its a problem with IE 5 macs inability to render floats properly.
any other ideas?

I've ran into this also especially with IE 5 on mac
I would take a look at this site about floating divs.

Bad float behaviour in IE 5 Mac
Is there room for both of them to float next to each other? taking into account IE5 has the broken box model.

Bad float behaviour in IE 5 Mac
I was just working on what sounds like exactly the same problem. Did a little digging and found out that With IE5.x mac you MUST specify a width on a floated div, otherwise it just stacks them up. Did this and everything works perfectly now.
