IE margin problem again

9 New Member
Hello again,

I've got another layout here and I've used some of the hacks I was shown in previous topics posted to fix IE to som extent. But once again I have a problem of a margin above my banner, and then my read more links in the wroong position.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you have a look at FF or Chrome you will see the way it's supposed to look.

Validate your html for that list of errors on your links. The gap at the top is probably caused by IE not collapsing margins properly but I don't have IE on this box so I can't check right now.

I've got six versions of IE on this end. State which one, or which ones, you mean when you write the thing doesn't work in IE (thanks).

IE/6 and IE/7 are leaving space for lc descenders. Making the image a block level element closes the gap.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. img {display:block;}
  2.  
In your document enclose all text with opening and closing p tags, including same for the "Read More" text. And assign this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. p {margin:0;}
  2.
