IE6, Nested Div's & CSS

[scoobyd]

I'm hoping that I'm posting this to the correct forum. I am having a problem with nested Div tags that have styles applied in IE, they layout fine in Mozilla though. Below is a code snippet of what I have:

<div class="inline">
<div class="fieldsetTitle">Title</div>
<div class="fieldsetBackground">
Some elements in here
</div>
</div>

<div class="inline">
<div class="fieldsetTitle">2nd Title</div>
<div class="fieldsetBackground">
Some more elements in here
</div>
</div>

.fieldsetTitle {
background-color: #C1C8D2;
font-color: black;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
padding: 0.5em;
}

.fieldsetBackground {
background-color: #F3F4F7;
padding: 1em;
}

div.inline {
display: inline;
vertical-align: top;
border: 0;
}

In IE, instead of having two boxes side by side, they stretch to the width of the entire page, one below the other. I have tried several other display parameters and I can't seem to get this to work. Does anyone have any sort of suggestion that could maybe put me on to the right path?

In which Mozilla? Mine shows it exactly as IE

I think you want something like

.inline {
float: left;
width: 49.9%;
}

That works great! One problem though...I now need that div to be centered horizontally on the page. I have a 'center' tag encapsulating the entire page, but because I now have 'float:left' in there, it ignores my center tag. Any thoughts on that?

And one other thing, though the float:left works when there is only two content boxes ( one beside the other ). I actually have 3 - 4 boxes on each page. Some have 1 box, a line break, then the final two boxes beside each other. By using the float left I would have to enter multiple line breaks just to get them underneath the initial box.

Looks like you might want to move on to absolute or relative positioning. Check out the library for more information on that.

Why are you after a particular look? Creating flow-based layout is much friendlier to you and your readers...
