Hello all --

After some research, I tried enabled "Optimize CSS Files" in the Performance section of Drupal 6.  Apparently that aggregates all of the stylesheets under IE (http://john.albin.net/css/ie-stylesheets-not-loading), and solves several IE-based CSS problems.  Worked like the proverbial charm.

Thanks again to all who offered suggestions.

Hello Luca --

Thank you for the suggestion -- I attempted to force IE into 'quirks' mode with an appropriate doctype declaration, but again, there seemed to be no change in the rendering.  I should also mention that outside of the Front Page module, the code renders correctly in both IE and Firefox as a stand-alone  web page.  validator.w3.org/ does return errors, but I'm not sure how much is due to incorrect code and how much is due to an odd synergy between the raw code and  Drupal / Front Page, which is set to 'themed' mode so that I can make use of the header, footer, and blocks available from the master CTI-Flex / Zen theme.

Hi Folks --

I'm hoping someone familiar with the 'Front Page' Drupal module can offer a suggestion.  We are using Front Page to provide a custom formatted splash page for our library users.  The problem is that code designed to display text inside a green column next to an iframe with Google Calendar centered between an left and right column of standard themed blocks is rendered differently on IE (all versions) than Firefox / Safari / Chrome. I'm using the following initial code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Lane Memorial Library, Hampton, NH</TITLE>
</head>
<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;
}

I think it is rendered in quirks mode, try to validate the code first: validator.w3.org/
