Internet Explorer Problems

[kj6art]

I am working on a website divided into your basic format with divs. In firefox it looks exactly how I planned and wanted with IE this is not the case. Its almost like the navigation div is a block element and it is taking up the entire width. I don't know what to do from here. The website is w6bxn.org and if it is necessary I will post the code here.

i can see that your menu looks good in IE 6 and above except there is a border around the nav image, to get rid of it you can add this into your css file

#nav img {border: none;)

Excellent, thank you. Now then, how can I get the content to the top of the page?

Try to validate your HTML/CSS coding from now on. (Check internet for VALIDATORS; i.e. OPERA has a built in right-mouse-click VALIDATE option!!!).

Minor issues, don't use "slash greater" "/ >" as delimeter. Use ">" only as you are not coding XHTML. Also add alt='' into your area statements.
This will avoid some browser confusion.

Apparently you have solved the border problem. Now I don't understand your question:
... how can I get the content to the top of the page ???

Not all browsers support every CSS statement:

I am not 100% sure but there is possibly a -moz-box-shadow in your CSS file.
IE Internet Explorer has no chance to handle -mozzies correctly. It's for Firefox and a few others only.

Again, VALIDATION of your coding during an early stage of development will reveal those limitations.

That was the problem. Once I got all of the pages to validate it worked quite well. Thanks for all of your help!
