Re: [WSG] absolute positioning in IE

[john]

Thanks for the tip.  The use of tables is my client's request.  He's too 
afraid to exclude those who won't be able to see it properly.  I tried 
to convince him otherwise, but he was firm.  The inline styles are just 
for my own tweaking purposes -- I'll put them in the external once I 
have it working properly.

G'day
that in Firefox and IE (on XP) the image doesn't show up in exactly the 
same place, so the blending background is off-set.  Right now, it looks 
good in Firefox, but not IE.  Is there something I can do to guarantee 
that image's position on the site, regardless of the browser?  The 
guitar is the image in question, saved as a PNG-8 Transparency.

Remove the spaces in the html for the header.   MSIE is making it 
taller, most likely because of those spaces. Make it:

<td ...><div...><img ... /></div></td>
Apart from that, while it does not answer your question, I can't 
see why you would use a table for such a simple layout, and the 
inline styles should really go into the external style sheet.
