My design has a 1px shift in IE 6. It looks fine in Firefox and Opera. I can't seem to figure out what IE doesn't like. Dan anyone help me figure out what's going on here?

You're stressing over ONE pixel ?? Really, if you insist on pixel perfection you WILL drive yourself nuts. As long as we have to deal with IE's vagaries, you're never going to get 100% perfection cross-browser, and it's a waste of energy to bother.

Your design looks really nice, no one is going to notice 1px.

*coughs* OCD

what, i didn't say anything.

But seriously now 1px will not make a difference to any visitors. If you have 5000 visitors, maybe one will notice.

This is the one of the big differences between design for print and design for web. It is something that traditional print designers have a difficult time with. It is virtually impossible to be pixel perfect on the web. The different combinations between browser, operating systems, and screen resolutions is the reason for this.
If it is that important to you, you might be able to make a stylesheet specifically for IE6 and shift it over 1px.

The best thing to remember is there will you plus 0 others, who will view your site in different browsers, side by side, at the same resolution, using the same monitor, on the same machine.

Everybody else will be looking at it in whatever browser starts up when they click the icon that says "Internet".

If it ain't "broken" don't try and fix it.

Whenever there are slight differences between two browsers, the first question I ask myself "is the difference acceptable?". If I find it isn't, I first look for a standard way of solving the problem, and if that doesn't work, I direct commands specifically at the browser that is behaving badly.

Yes... the drop shadow background with a kink in it is disturbing. It's like a sore thumb poking me in the eye. The same drop shadow has worked before with no problems. Everything validates. OCD is a privilege... not a right...

I did find a solution for this. For anyone who is interested, it was an IE bug.
