The problem is that the C-style '//' comment syntax is not valid CSS.
----------
oops. i probably should have noted that those comments aren't included in
my actual CSS.
i also should have run it through the validator, which did give errors.
however, if i do this:
----------
body {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
border: 0; }
#box {
width: 400px; /* ie 5 */
padding: 0 5px 0 5px; }
#box {
width: 380px; /* ie 6 */ }
html>body #box {
width: 380px; }
----------
it validates, but i don't have IE 5 available to test it out and see if it
still gives me the same effect.
