CSS bug in IE or coding error? Workaround?

R

Hi,

I have a couple of CSS elements for placing images on a page, allowing text
to wrap around them:

..imagewrapleft {
width: auto;
float: left;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 6px;
margin-right: 6px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
}

..imagewrapright {
width: auto;
float: right;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 6px;
margin-left: 6px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
}

These elements can be seen in use on this page:
http://www.thermoteknix.com/content/english/stories/story28/index.html (the
two race-car images, top and bottom).

With Firefox/Mozilla, all is well, but with Internet Explorer, the race-car
images are squashed or stretched but un-squash if you right click on the
picture and select "properties"! Refreshing IE reverts them back to their
previous incorrect width and height. Is this a bug in IE CSS
implementation, or an error in my CSS?


Thanks,


Robin

The images appear the same in IE6 SP2 as in FireFox1.0

Hi refresh in IE and see the top one will shrink horizontally. Right click
"properties" and it will return to it's proper size. I'm using IE 6 SP-2
also.

I guess there isn't a resolution to this - ie. it's another bug in IE CSS
implementation :(.
