The top and bottom have to do with IE believing you want to put text into an element and would want that text visible..... even though you told it you only wanted it to be 7px tall. Set {font-size: 1px;} on the .border-image class and the top and bottom spaces will go away. The problem in the left/content/right section is due to the doubled float-margin bug. You were correct to consider display: inline, however it is not currently in your CSS. You'll need to add that to both - div#left-container - and - div#right-container - in order for IE to display the columns on the same line. Since the font-sizes are in pixels, you won't need to worry about IE users increasing their text size, for the most part... You might want to try things in another browser with the text size bumped up a few times, however. You'll need something in the clearing div to get the parent container background to extend down and form your visible columns. A non-breaking space will work, but you'll probably want to set - height: 0, line-height: 0; and font-size: 1px; - for your clearing class to get it to take up no space. Additionally, IE will need the - div#parent-container - to gain layout in order for it to display the background image. Using the holly hack will work okay. I hope that helps, ~holly ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
