ahh ok, How does it look without the marginwidth tag since I couldn't find one for css? Also, run your css through http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

The code I supplied is valid.

Hrmmmm.. doesn't work on Opera but does on the others. Will have to think if I want to be Transitional or functional Wink Could always work some more javascript magic I suppose Razz

Whoops just noticed earlier I posted the code without ; at end. I was using that for reference which if you used that portion it may cause errors!
I edited my post so if you used the earlier sniplet that was on top you need to fix. The botton sniplet I had was correct.

Try adding this to the css... It might replace marginwidth Smile
margin: 0px;

How does that work out?

Still doesn't fix it.

So here's what I decided to do. I will keep the CSS changes that people suggested (need to do some fixes according to the validator though Wink). However, since CSS alone is not good enough for Opera, then there is no telling how many other browsers will also not work correctly. Keeping those parameters should just be ignored if a browser doesn't understand them. So I decided to leave them there.

But I do want the Transitional tag, so I'm faking out the validator by putting it in javascript Razz Sorry to resort to trickery, but I think I have a legitimate beef Wink

I'll load up the changes once I get the CSS pretty enough Wink

Haha, Ya actual browser compatibility is nicer then being transitional but both are preferred! Razz

Find:
Code:
.label { 
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt;
   font-weight: bold;
   color: black;
}

Replace With:
Code:
.label { 
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif;
   font-size: 10pt;
   font-weight: bold;
   color: black;
}


Find:
Code:
A:active {
   font-weight:bold; color: #000084
   font-weight: bold;
}

Replace With:
Code:
A:active {
   color: #000084;
   font-weight: bold;
}


In fact, you should probably change all of your "font-family"s to match this:
Code:
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif;

Ok, what's the reason for doing that though?

To make everything look the same, and to have multiple backups in case one font is missing. Razz

Whether or not you use that specific example, you should probably make sure all your "font-family"s are the same (as long as you're not doing something specifically different with them). Wink

Ya thats correct, It's simple just "backup" font's in case the user doesn't have the correct font for some reason.

The other error was just missing a ;

testing...

oh yeah, it's still really messed up. Using opera 7.51 build 3798

The frames are all screwed up. But if it's just me, then it doesn't matter because I use firefox/mozilla.
