Thanks Alan! that cleared it up kind of, but now i'm getting a small gap next to the content graphic. It looks as if the background-image: url(Images/content_bg_01.gif); is being cut off on the left side. my initial reaction would be to give it a width but then we go back to the first problem. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Hello Patrick, IE likes to play tricks to bewilder, change the following in these rule sets. #content { margin: 0 0 0 262px; padding: 0; border: 0; width: 538px; /* delete triggering hasLayout */ background-image: url(Images/content_bg_01.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; } #textarea { margin: 0px 50px 0 30px; /* change top margin to zero */ padding: 0; /* delete */ padding-top: 85px; /* add pushes "About Us" down */ text-align: left; } >From the special IE stylesheet #content {margin-left: 0;} /* delete */ The 10px difference as seen in IE is due to the #content div having ... "hasLayout" [1]. Basically for most browsers the #content divs' left margin of 262px begins at the left edge of the #wrapper div [2] but for IE this left margin begins at the right edge of the floated #sidebar div, that why margin:0 brought it close. When the #content div doesn't have hasLayout IE will behave like the other browsers. BTW, the height given to the #footer div is causing text breakout on text resize. You may want to work with this.
