CSS styles question......

[coldfused]

Guys i'm using this in an external file:

.copy {font-family: Arial, geneva, sans-serif;
text-align: justify;
font-size: 13px;
color: #666666;
margin-right: 2%;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-top: 2%;
margin-bottom: 1em;}

it works fine most of the time, but I am finding machines running windows98 and ie that the style sheet is causing the page to fall apart. Now I didn't have time at work to check, but I know the machines are running ie5 something.

What version of ie5 started supporting css?

Also at work we have a mac running os9.2.2 and ie 5.1 and the page holds up great.

your thoughts?

"copy" is a keyword, use copy1

I think there was (at least some) CSS support in IE4.

Try removing (or commenting out) each property from the CSS class in turn to see which one is causing the problem.

You could also try putting your CSS file through the validator at

and see if there's anything dodgy about it. It looks OK to me though. -- Chris Hunt

Seems that the problem was setting the margins, doesn't seem to work inside a table in ie 5. Will look into it further and see if there is a solution.

For now i just take out the margins in the css and set the cellspacing inside the table to adjust.

I think you'll find older browsers a bit inconsistent in the way they apply CSS to tables. Try something like this:

<TD><P CLASS=&quot;copy&quot;>This Works</P></TD>

<TD CLASS=&quot;copy&quot;>This (sometimes) doesn't</TD>
