I spent hours working on box model hacks and adjusting my floats to try to get the IE rendition of Hamster Salad to look half decent. Page 119 said it all: Make the area wider. So simple, so clear, so very, very zen. I felt a little foolish for not figuring it out on my own; I had been too certain that this problem was complex and demanded a complex solution.
Not so. Thanks Dave and Molly for not being afraid to state the obvious.
