Re: [WSG] IE won't play
Sorry, got waylaid on a few other pressing problems. This answer makes complete sense and I feel like a dummy for missing it altogether!

Hi Wayne, Looks like it's the set width that you're using. If you're already using margins on the H2, why not dispense with the width and add the right margin, like so: #main #homer h2 { font-size: 117%; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.06em; line-height: 1.75em; color: #FFF; margin: 25px 210px 15px 10px; text-align: left; } This works for me in IE (and the others).

Thanks Mike, but that didn't work. I tried reducing the width from 390px to 385px and also changing to width: 100%, neither worked.

[WSG] IE won't play
Been a bit since my last post, had to finally take the knowledge and go to work. I have an IE Win problem that's driving me nutso. I have a page that validates both CSS and XHTML. I've tested it on a Mac in Safari, Firefox and Opera; and Netscape, Firefox and IE on Windows. The page works and looks correct on all, except, ahem, IE Win. Can someone please help me out with this one? For some dumb reason, IE wants to drop my text way down on the background image instead putting it at the top as the other browsers do. The page: http://vtest.jrations.com/home_test.php The CSS: http://www.jrations.com/css/main_test.css Wayne Godfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
