Hello Scott. Once I relised that it was not a Guillotine bug (no floats present) I saved the page offline and looked for any padding or margins which IE commonly has trouble with. I then deleted this line padding: .25em 0; /* DELETE */ and saw that the IE bug was squashed. When you have a IE bug with padding on an element you simply remove the padding and apply a margin instead on the same element and hope that you don't trigger other bugs that IE has with margins. margin: .25em 0; /* ADD */ The basic approach for tackling a mystery bug http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/mys-bug.html I will do a offline demo for you breaking down the original bug to help you with your write up. Do you have a name for it yet? :-) Alan http://css-class.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
