[TYPO3] IE messes with css

[Ries van Twisk]

You can use padding actually, because sometimes you need them.

.column160left {
    width:152px !important;
    width:160px;
    float:left;
    padding:4px;
}

The above is a example.
One width is for IE, the other one for FF.

so it IS possible.
I usually start designing in FF, then I make it compatible with FF when 
adding these ! exeptions.
