 * Have a look at [http://www.southernapproach.ch](http://www.southernapproach.ch)
   with Firefox or another modern browser and then with MSIE – the site looks terrible
   with MSIE. What could cause that problem? How can I solve it?

 * … does MSIE ignore the following CSS definition and therefore mess up the layout?
   /*
   Begin Images */ p img { padding: 0; max-width: 100%; } Martin

 * IE does not understand max-width at all.

 * Well, it seems that I have to limit my pictures to a maximum width of 450 px –
   manually… I hate Microsoft in such a moment! 🙁

 * Well, you could conceivably set your images as width, then set overflow as hidden.

 * Anonymous, what he means is that you could do this:
    `<img src="image.jpg" style
   ="width: 450px;" />` or `<img src="image.jpg" width="450">` However, in general
   you should never post images larger than what you need. Kubrick always uses a
   450px wide column, which I decided to do so that people would never be in doubt
   as to which width their images should be.
