I¹m trying to get one of my pages done with CSS but am running into problems
as I go along.

The following page isn¹t working correctlyS

http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~officelink/kcFirstStage/

.... The first problem is with the inner white boxes which I¹ve placed there
as placeholders for the time being: in IE/win the left large white box
(called leftpic) is supposed to have padding on the right side so that
there¹s a space between it and the right border, but it¹s not working in
IE/win

Remove the xml prologue
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> from the head of your document. 
It's causing IE 6 to switch to quirks mode [1].  In quirks mode IE 6 uses 
the IE 5x box model which could explain the problems you're describing.  For 
a more complete explanation see the link below.
