Couldn't they be DIVs with a set height, all floated left with a
<br style="clear: left;" />
at the end to make sure all the content goes under them?

Ahh. I thought the margin went outside of the div AND the border. So the
borders showed the actual edge of the div, with the margin added on beyond
it. This box model is too complicated ;-)

OK, that fixed the problem. However, that line was added to constrain the
contents of the div in Internet Explorer when I use the floated div
technique described at realworldstyle.com to create my photo
gallery. Without it, the floated elements extend through the div to the
edge of the page (due I believe to the "wrong" interpretation of the box
model in IE). You can see this at
http://www.narrow-gauge.co.uk/gallery_demo.html
I seem to be going round in circles here - either I leave in the width:
100% and have the site display correctly in IE, or I leave it out and have
the site display correctly in Mozilla/opera. Is there any solution to this
problem?
Thanks,
Peter
