Tantek Celig's Box Model Hack

[Blizzy]

I'm trying to employ the box model hack to my website, but i'm having some problems. It doesn't seem like it wants to work with NN6 & IE6.

#bottomLeft {
	float: left;
	
	width: 200px;
	padding: 20px;
	background-color: #2C2C73;
	
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	
	width: 160px;

}

body>html #bottomLeft {
	width: 160px;
}

width: 160px should replace the width: 200px but it's not doing that in IE 6/NN 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(the box with the "discussions" images should have the same width as the grey box above)

I used to be a regular in the CS server but I haven't had much time for games lately - My brother attends UVIC, and my best friends sister attends SFU, and I'm thinking about SFU next year... does that count? *crosses fingers while looking for answer to Blizzy's problem*

K i found the reason its sticking out... you set the padding to 20px, which extends the block out farther - Just get rid of the padding and it works fine for me.

ehh if your best friend's sister joins the teknights, then she can be a mod to the games :Þ

I actually need the 20px padding.
IE 5 incorrectly interprets the CSS box model and NN6+, IE6+ does.

I figured ou the problem though. AceHTML (my html editor) altered my code for this line:

voice-family: "\"}\"";

and turned it into:

voice-family: "$"}$"";

all i had to do was use notpad to correct it back to the way it's supposed to be.
