I have a problem with my first fluid grid layout.
This layout looks displaced(varying width) in the most browsers. It works only in firefox.(not in e.g. chrome or opera)

    You are on the right track. The reason for differing rendering has to do with pixel rounding which is a problem for all browsers, especially IE.
