Highlighted causes the mess ;)


div.logo {display:block; float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(images/logo.png); text-align:left; line-height:37px; height:112px; width:462px; margin:0 auto 2ex; padding:0;}


Remove that part in highlighted :)

Quick side note,,,you don't have a DTD (http://alistapart.com/articles/doctype) in your page...without it...your're pushing IE into quirksmode.

...Also, <style type="text/css">, add the higlighted :)

See if it helps :)

Thanks for your help, the resoan why i dont have DTD is because i dont know which one to use its all so confusing...

I have never bothered with DTD and all my sites work fine. but if you can help me here is the basic

HTML - or it could be xhtml as i dont use table just all divs
PHP
Mysql
CSS files

If I were to ask, I would use between the two:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">




<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">


The earlier is for XHTML, and the later is for HTML ;)

BTW, has my suggestion in Post#2 resolved the issue :)

When in doubt use the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD. Most XHTML sites are only using HTML syntax just using some XHTML techniques (like closing image tags, etc...).

Here is a more general overview: http://www.webstandards.org/learn/articles/askw3c/oct2003/

But you 100% should include a DTD and validate your markup. The stress on standards complaint markup isn't just web nerds being super anal. It makes a real functional difference in how browsers render your page. You say that all your sites work fine without a DTD but that suggests to me that either (1) the markup is coded in quirks mode or (2) that you haven't tested in all relevant browsers
