Website looks different in IE to Firefox

My website www.windsoraccess.co.uk looks different in IE to Firefox at
the very top where my logo and wording is. In IE the gap surrounding
the logo and wording is much less and looks absolutely fine compare to
the view you get in Firefox. Elsewhere there is no problem with the
layout it looks the same in both IE and Firefox.

Any suggeestion would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

You've a long way to go yet.

Search the ng archives
Look up doctype and "quirks mode"
Set a CSS background colour

And not just a "background color", which IE6 seems to use despite its
invalid nature, but "background-color", which FF respects when it is
present.

So add to Andy's list:
validate the HTML
validate the CSS
test in more than just IE.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
