			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It&#039;s too late now. What&#039;s done&#039;s done. The simplicity rule means that you should the most simple means available, for instance, not use the CSS-block system, when you can just insert the old-fashioned table tags. Because this hasn&#039;t been done, the CSS files are now skrewed up, and IE 5 and probably many other browsers are not working. I&#039;d rather prefer someone help get this mess with IE 5 straightened out, because, as of now, the forum can hardly be used for any serious, let alone commercial, purposes.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I.E 5 you&#039;ll most likely never get working correctly. I wouldn&#039;t waste too much time worrying about that, to be honest. With the Opera issue, you&#039;ll most likely find the problem is at your end rather than with Opera. Opera really can be anal over the silliest of things on occasion. Check the HTML and CSS validity of your code, make sure that&#039;s upto par and then, if the problem persists, find out what&#039;s causing it. If you can get the layout working fine with Opera, you&#039;ll usually find it displays fine in every other real, (not I.E), browser too. You may well just have an extra|missing or misplaced tag or suchike causing that issue.</p>]]></content>
