[css-d] FF MSIE background image problem

2006-07-26 Thread Terry O'Leary
Hi

I've been working on my company site www.arcolectric.co.uk/index2.html
and have designed it in pure CSS.

I have a background img assigned to the body element with a slight
fade, and a div that contains a background image of the menu bar along
the top, i need the background of the menu bar to line up to the
bodies background.

I've discovered that i have a problem with the mast head being
rendered differently in different browsers. On windows in IE the page
displays perfectly, but in firefox/safari on a mac a top margin of
around 7px appears in the div with the menu bar and so pushes the
alignment of the backgrounds out.

I currently have the following CSS for the menu and the body:

#banner_Distribution{
margin:auto;
margin-top:0px;
width:800px;
height:90px;
padding:0px;
padding-right:2px;
background:url(_images/banner_bg_agents.jpg) 0px 0px no-repeat;
}

body{
margin:0px 0px;
width:100%;
background:url(_images/main_body_bg.jpg) 0px -18px repeat-x;
padding:0px;
}

any one have any ideas, i've noticed if i surround the menu bar with a
border the problem fixes itself and have tried various solutions to no
avail HELP!

You are describing /one way/ to solve 'collapsing margins'[1], although
I can't see the problem at my end and can't recommend which of the many
fixes to use.

Apart from that, you have triggered the 'em font-resizing bug'[2] in
IE/win.

Your layout is also clearly not prepared for any degree of font-resizing
in any browser, and those menu-links get pushed out of alignment.
