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! 
Thanks to everyone on the list for your help.

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). That help?

The 380px worked for the top  but now IE is centering the  text
underneath, even though the CSS says align left. Getting there, but 
why is
IE doing this?

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.
Your width is a little wide -
#main #homer {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 390px;
z-index: 20;
}
Make is a tad less and it'll be fine.

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;
}

Make it 384px and it does. I think it's the IE margin bug.

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

[WSG] IE won't play

2005-05-12 Thread Wayne Godfrey
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:

The CSS:
