IE Problem

Hi,

I’m hoping someone might be able to spot something that I’m missing on a quick site I’m making;

http://www.emotive-designs.co.uk/markray/

It looks fine in Opera and Firefox, but in IE the top orange bars don’t line up. What am I missing!? I’ve been trying everything, but can’t find what the problem is - only thing I can pinpoint it to, is the logo, but I don’t know why or what.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

Try moving the closing table data tag (/td) and the closing font tag (/font) to the end of the line with the email address, like this:

[code] Email: [email protected]

[/code] I suspect ie is generating whitespace for the newlines and spaces and causing the text to take more vertical space than the 121 pixel height alloted. Of course, I could be wrong...

Ok, try this (same concept, different row); move the first anchor tag (a) for the tabs to be to be adjacent to the table data tag (td), as follows:

   <td height="67" colspan="3" align="right" valign="top"><a href="about.asp"><img src="images/tab_about.gif" alt="About Us" width="130" height="30" border="0"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

I just got it, about 5 mins ago…

The problem (for some reason) was both the logo and the cell next to it. I removed all spaces and line breaks etc, so all the logo’s cell and logo code was on one line, and also removed the   from the cell to the right. All working fine now :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help matey!

IE is very fussy about whitespace in the code and will interpret it in ways that seem mysterious, although it does make some sense. Anyway, I’m glad you worked it out.
