I have been trying out your BeyondCSS skin with the Skinergy components and have found a cross-browser problem. I am using IE7 Beta 2 and found that sometimes the containers right hand border would render too far to the right. After some experimentation I found that in the container.css file the .ccon style needed to have {width: 100%;} to correct this. However when viewed in IE6 or Firefox the problem reappeared. The IE6 hack of using _width corrects it for that browser only and Firefox ignores it but that still leaves a problem with IE7. It appears to occur with modules that contain a TABLE with width set to 100% (I proved this by creating an HTML/Text module with that table code in it). Unfortunately many DNN modules seem to generate such table code, sometimes with the style hardcoded inline (the Blog module for example does this) which makes it difficult to correct in the css file. Any suggestions?

I know what you're talking about. I think the only or maybe the easier cross browser solution is to create another container which will have HTML table instead of DIV to wrap the module's contents and use it in situations like that where the other containers brake cause of the way the module has been developed.

So often with DNN trying to create a pure CSS skin breaks at some point (my most common problem has been right hand columns deciding to display below the center one as the window is resized). DNN modules make so much use of tables anyway its almost pointless, if not perverse, trying to avoid the use of tables in the skin and containers. Thanks for the suggestion.
