See [[User:Zocky/Sandbox 5]] for an illustration of the problem.

There's no indication of a problem. The given sample page uses a
huge amount of hardcoded styles for no apparent reason, with no
indication why.

Resolving as INVALID. Reopen with more information if there is actually
some kind of problem.

Basically, we've been trying to make the {{legend}} template work properly
(without inserting characters, and preferably producing properly indented
multi-line labels). The only way to do that in html/css is by using divs, but
all divs inside thumbnail boxes inherit a bunch of formatting which is just
meant for the whole thumbnail box (or rather for its unnamed direct descendent
div, which is the visible gray box), not for each of its subparts.

Whether styles should be harcoded into templates or put into css files is a
somewhat broader question.

I've added another example at [[User:Zocky/Sandbox 5]] with no hardcoded styles
at all, which exhibits the same problem.

As I feared; the > child selector doesn't work in IE 6.

Could we name the currently unnamed div around the images and make that style
apply specifically to it, not all div descendants of its parent?
