You can attach screen captures to a post here by using the paper clip, but the most important thing for us to know is what the HTML, CSS and problem are.

Thanks I have fixed that bit by using relative positioning. A peculiar problem is that my spacing are wider in IE7 than the size that is correctly showing in FF
@WebJoelAug 26.2008 — #Generally, your first CSS statement can safely always be:
[B]
* {margin:0; padding:0;}[/B]
and this eliminates 90% of such issues and avoids 'conditionals' (which work, but if the need for MORE arise, you are adding more code to the conditional whereby the "universal selector" has rendered IE more-or-less cross-browser compliant for these issues.)
From the images, it does looks as if there are margin-specific differences. IE 'assumes' certain values for margins & padding. Compliant browsers, do not. Hence, IE often looks 'wider' or more 'padded' due to their inept assumptions.
The universal selector method removes this on IE; other browsers are unaffected as they do this anyway.
