Opera 7.5x needs the width specified for floats (as required by CSS2.0).  
That restriction has been lifted in CSS2.1 and recent versions of Opera  
(the 7.60 previews) have taken that into account and your site looks OK in  
those.

However, while the height of the right column matches the height of the  
face exactly in IE, in Firefox 1.0 it's a bit tall, while in Opera 7.60p3  
it's short. When I removed the .cl, .ma, .wh, .op, and html>body .info  
styles Opera lined up.

That right column and your styles on it makes me a little nervous. I don't  
like negative margins. It feels like you're just hacking about with the  
styles until it looks "OK" (IMHO). Set the images to display block ("li  
img { display:block; }") and remove those 'margin hacks'. That looks OK in  
FF and Opera.

Also, when fooling about with lists, IE, FF and Opera have different  
margin/padding defaults. If you find yourself setting one or the other of  
those, make sure you set both, even if it seems redundant.

I didn't check in IE. Too much of a PITA. Sorry.

HTH,
