CSS differences between IE5 & IE5.5

[shmmeee]

Hi,
I was wandering what differences there are between the way IE5 renders CSS and the way IE5.5 does it. I've built a page and tested it using IE5, but my friend says it looks awful in his IE5.5. Is there anywhere (NOT the webreview.com compatibility chart - how am I meant to know what "quirky" means?) that can tell me what each browser does differently. Also does IE6 display CSS differently too?

thanks,
Iain X-)

you probably have some weird formatting, i suppose. 99.99% of the pages that i made look identical in IE5.0 and IE5.5. can you paste the code for the page that "looks awful" in 5.5? so we all take a look at it.

I thought they were both the same as well until my friend told me this. It's not as bad as he made out but go here:

the problem is that the review text overlaps the "film info" box on the right when it should(and does in IE5) stop just before. I did have the same problem in IE5 when I was coding it but I can't remember what I changed to get it to work, so it's probably my dodgy coding. This is my first experiment with CSS so if it's totally awful please forgive me.
BTW here's the stylesheet the relevant bits use:

div.infobox {position: relative; top: -60px; float: right; left: 40px; width:180px; margin-right: 10px; z-index: 2}

div.revtext {position: absolute; left: 130px; top: 180px; z-index: 2}

again both of these are bound to be dodgy but I've been trying things and not wanting to take them out in case, so it's far from final.

Doesn't matter, I've fixed it now, I'm an idiot and I wasn't using float right it shouldn't have worked in either, thanks for the offer anyway.
