Yowsa! I guess that's the problem with style sheets. They aren't portable. (It looks fine in Explorer, what are you using?)

I tried it in Mozilla, it looks different from both IE and Opera.

That's how it looks in FireFox as well.

Posted in reply to Walter Bright | Actually, they are portable... but what you're doing is technically incorrect. I had thought it was intentional.
You set a width for the box, and so the standards-compliant browsers listen to you and do as you say. You don't set overflow, so it's defaulted to visible. Thus what you see in the screenshot.
Internet Explorer is completely ignoring the standards (what the CSS property "width" is supposed to do) and treating it as a minimum width.
Normally, you'd set min-width instead to get the effect that Internet Explorer is giving you... but IE does not support min-width. Hence probably why Internet Explorer behaves this way.
A lot of people use something like this for that:
min-width: 600px;
width: expression("600px"); /* This line only understood by IE. */
However, Internet Explorer 7 (coming out _very_ soon, final already available for download) will comply with the standards (when the document has a proper DOCTYPE, which yours does) and thus the above will break it.
I would suggest that it wouldn't be too bad to simply have:
min-width: 600px;
Because, this will mean that Internet Explorer 6 and below will simply show the box at whatever width, including smaller than 600px... but every other browser will work as you wish.

The same overflow problem exists in many of the D languages pages, too. e.g. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/template.html If I switch to a small enough default font it looks ok, though. (I use FireFox.) --bb |

I wouldn't be surprised at all at that, since they all use the same style sheet, and all are generated with Ddoc macros.
