I am in need of some help with my css. I know, I am a total newbie but need some help with getting the css working properly. It seems that some parts work for IE and other parts work for Firefox.

Thank you! Hi For some reason my links won't align centrally on a mac or netscape. Here's the classes in a style sheet I'm linking to. It works on a PC though. I want the links to only become underlined when you roll over. The problem is the links are long sentences and in a thin table so they go over on to two lines. And when this happens, the second line is not aligned centrally with the first. It's slightly scew. .copy { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; color: #000000; text-align: center; padding-right: 20px; padding-left: 20px; text-decoration: none} a.copy:hover { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; color: #000000; padding-right: 20px; padding-left: 20px; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;} I've made a site for someone and it was center aligning and it worked in all 3 main browsers (IE, FF and Opera) so when I was tinkering with ideas for redoing the look of my site, I used the CSS sheet I used for his site as a base for mine. Unfortunately it's only center align in IE7 with my site. My site is admittedly a bit more complex, at the moment, with more divs, it should still work. Mind you I'm probably just too tired to spot the obvious. Can anyone see what's stopping it from center aligning in FF and Opera?

Can someone help me with this? I've run into yet another IE "feature" that i'd like to ask you, dear colleagues, how to solve. I have a relatively positioned div and i need to absolute position another div inside of it to fill almost all width and height of the parent. I need it to have a 20px margin from top and bottom. Here's what works in real browsers: Code: .somediv{ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 20px; bottom: 20px; right: 0; } Now how do i make it work in a developer's nightmare IE? There are 2 more divs in top and bottom both 20px high so the new div shouldn't overlap with them.
