Hi

The top right quote box displays my introduction; 'what's a..' fine in FIREFOX but in IE7 there is a 20px gap.

I've tried removing the margin and padding for the P tag and also tried span but no luck.

I tried margin:MINUS 5px but this messes up Firefox and does nothing in IE.

HTML

<div id="qt">
            <img src="/ly/ly_quote_whatsaj.gif" alt="What's a ?" />

        </div>

CSS

#qt {
    margin:0px;
    padding:0px;
    float:left;
    display:inline;
    width: 289px;
    height: 271px;
    background-image:url(/ly/ly_quote_bx.gif);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

any ideas?

Is it the QT BOX that's pushed down, or the <p> inside it ?

I have to fire up my laptop to look at it with IE7. Why do you have the #qt set to display: inline ?

Hi LadynRed,

Yeah, basically it is the P tag that seems to be pushed down.

attached is the screen for IE7.

I removed margins and padding but it just borders left and right but makes no different in terms of top-space.

As for why I inlined #QT, I thought this would set it INLINE with the first row of divs. The top row has 3 divs, LOGO | AD SPACE | QUOTE BOX.

Okay so it seems that it doesn't do anything and that by floating left, it does remain inline with the top row so I guess that's one less code to put in - Thanks!

I thought this would set it INLINE with the first row of divs.

Display:inline doesn't 'line up' elements, it changes a block-level element to an inline element.

Set the margins on that <p> to ZERO (right now you have it set to "auto"), then add PADDING to the <p> instead.

nice, that worked.

thanks for the read.
