ie problem

I have a problem with divs in firefox and ie.

the size the divs have to cover is 800px.

The amout of divs that sits in this space is determined by the number of options which varies from 1 - 10

so first i work out the size of one div by

menuIndSize = 800 / mmItems

mmItems is the number of divs that is required..

so within a loop i have the code

Code:

<div class="menuItem2"  style="width:<%=cdbl(menuIndSize )%>px; background-color:<%=bgcolour%>;"><%=rsMainMenu("Section_Name")%> </div>

In Firefox it always work perfectly in ie it doesnt....

in ie if for example the items is 4 or 5 it works as

800 / 4 = 200 and 200 is a whole number

but if there are only 3 menu options for example

800 / 3 = 266.666666666667 and this isnt a whole number it doesnt work

as i said this work perfectly in firefox but in ie its 2 pixels short..

what can i do??

I am kinda suprised that FF reads doubles as valid numbers for element sizes. Anyway. Its a browser limitiation (obviously) and there isn't anything that you reall can do, you can try rounding the number but you will probably wind up expanding the divs beyond 800 pix.

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.
