Site doesn't work properly on IE5

**frannybb** · 01-24-2008, 10:21 AM

I created an inline floated list that falls into a vertical list in IE. Everything looks fine in Firefox and Safari.

How can I resolve this please? I've very new to CSS, learning as I go a long, so please go easy on me!

Thank you for welcoming me and your help!

I tried this code, but nothings changes when I preview in IE5 ....

**coothead** · 01-28-2008, 05:03 AM

Hi there frannybb,

The code that I posted was tested in these browsers using Windows XP...

IE 5.5
IE 6.0
IE 7.0
Firefox 2.0
Opera 9.25

...and I could detect no difference in their displays.

I have attached an image of the IE5.5 window.
