i have now decided to supply the full code for the whole page in case something else in my page is causing the problems…
i have managed to get so far but now i can not get a padding in side the middle section of the speech bubble to have the text in it, when i change the padding the page goes weird and does not show the same view in IE either.
can anyone please suggest a way to get around this.
quote: i did try the suggestion above from HAKU but this too messed up the page as well like when i change the values of the padding from 0px to something else like 5px or 10px on the left and right of the middle bubble image box.
also i have new images…
