Here is an example from the website:
The output you’d expect:
But what IE actually gives you:
This is mainly due to IE6 in quirks mode and below not recognizing the auto value we set to the margin property. Fortunately, this is easily fixed.

I am in the search of a CSS framework which will make it more standard to implement designs and add more resusability to the work put in creating CSS based designs. The issue arose when a collegue of mine – Nickey – started a talk about CSS frameworks.
I started from the top of the 12 mentioned frameworks and until now I have reached number 4 – which is YUI Grids CSS from Yahoo. It is a big thing so I just jumped directly to their online tool to autogenerate CSS for generic layouts. It is called “CSS Grid Builder”, and I must say that my first hand impression is one of respect! It is an impressive piece of work. See my very simple 1st test.
I will be trying out other frameworks, but for sure will also try to use the framework from Yahoo in practice!
