Hello --

I hope this is is simple ignorance on my part, but I cannot figure out why an initial Front Page

declaration displays correctly in Firefox / Safari / Chrome, but is ignored in IE. I'm using the following initial code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Lane Memorial Library, Hampton, NH</TITLE>
<STYLE type="text/css">

div#c1 {
float:left;
width:260px;
height:800px;
background-color:#b3e0b8;
border:2px solid #dce7d5;
color:black;
padding:10px;
}

div#c2 {
float:right;
}

</STYLE>
</HEAD>

In Firefox after an initial <div id="c1">, the text is properly contained and displayed in a green box. In IE, the green background is missing, and the text fills all available space. This is an experimental site hosted on an in-house server, but I would be happy to supply an 'outside' link for anyone kind enough to help me find a solution.

Thanks in advance ...

Title: Different FrontPage rendering in Firefox / Safari / Chrome vs. IE » SOLVED - Different FrontPage rendering in Firefox / Safari / Chrome vs. IE

After some research, I found out that the problem with IE is solved by enabling "Optimize CSS files" in the Performance section of Drupal 6. This apparently allows IE to properly see the CSS coding in Front Page.

support@drupal.org suggested enclosing the

declaration within the tag. Modified the code as shown, but no change to IE display problem.
