Hello,

Please have a look at this link

There appears to be a big gap between the introduction and the 1st boxed item (Part No. VT89A) In IE7

In FF, the gap has disappeared?

Exactly.
In IE6, your menu on the left is waaaaaaaaaaaay down the page too.

Me again...

I'm still getting a bigger gap in IE6 (on a different site this time - same layout.LINK HERE:

If I remove the unused <p> , then the menu can't be seen properly...
The main image should start right under the top menu...

Also i cant seem to padd out the main section of text, its overlapping the left section of the page...

All fine in IE7 and FF but wrong in IE6?

Darren, it looks like there are a couple of empty paragraphs(with <br class="clear" /> inside them, directly under your your <div id="invertedtabs"> When I removed them in Firebug it didn't appear to do anything. Also, there are two empty paragraphs (with nothing in them) underneath #invertedtabs's containing div (#header-top). When I removed them it made the slim gap go away (in Firefox). It would be better to use a margin for this. Maybe if you do both of these it will fix IE.

***EDIT***
Hey, I found the solution. Please ignore the above. On the element #header-top, you have a height set, then you have the #invertedtabs inside of it, but just overflowing outside of the #header-top so that it is still visible. The problem is that IE6 has a bug that causes containers to expand past their set height, if their contents are larger than the container, as if height is actually "min-height". You must be very careful with IE6 with this.

When I remove the:
Code:
height: 70px;
from #header-top, Firefox does the exact thing that is happening in IE6. Remove that height command, then remove all of the paragraphs that I mention above(they are causing the big gap when you use normal flow like this). Now you will have a slightly-too-large margin on the bottom of the tabs. It is coming from the <ul>. Adjust its margin-bottom and you're good to go!

Absolutley Fantastic! you have solved the problem!

I knew about the empty paragraphs but they were there to stop the menu dissapearing... removing the height: 70px cures the problem!

Many thanks, - this has been driving me crazy!

Cheers

**Edit**

P.S. I cant give you any TP yet - looks like you'll have to wait awhile!
