I'm using the 960.gs CSS framework on a site and have hit problems almost instantly with IE (7, though I assume 6 is no better).

<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="design/reset.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="design/960.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="design/text.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container_12">abc</div>
</body>
</html>

Given this HTML above (the CSS is just the files bundled with 960), Firefox and Chrome centre the grid, whereas IE pushes it to the left.

I've used 960 before without any issues, so I think I must just be doing something really stupid. Can anyone help?

Hi, I've understood it's possible to control the vertical (columnwise) source ordering with the 960 Grid System. However, is it possible to do something similar vertically? If not, does anyone know of any grid system that handles source ordering vertically? Thanks, Jens >>> More

I want to use 960 or Blueprint, but I also want to use lots of Padding and Borders, is it a good fit

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I started using 960 today and thought it would be really easy. However, trying to translate a site to 960 quickly proved tough for many reasons. The first is that I can't use any padding or borders. Unless of course I add many more divs. Same thing with borders. Question is, if I want to use… >>> More
