Hi im try to solve this problem where firefox makes a space in between the menu and IE does not. I just need IE to also have the space between.

The site is www.cubetec.co.za/wordpress

I uploaded the css file.
I think the problem lies in #navmenu,#content, or #cpadding

Thanks

You have a mess at the top of your page where the DOCTYPE is SUPPOSED to be - and it's not. The rendered code looks like this:

Quote:

That <style> block does NOT belong there, it belongs INSIDE the <head> section, as does the <link> tag, which is also in the wrong place.

IE is rendering in QUIRKS mode because it does not see a valid DOCTYPE - and neither does Firefox.

Yeah, you need to make sure the page isnt rendered in quirks mode.

If it runs quirks then CSS widths etc are handled by an old broken algorithm and misshapes stuff.

Once you get it to render correctly ( as ladynred ) states all should be fine as IE / Firefox will use correct positioning

Thanks guys it worked.

You wouldn't know why the user name and password textbox is not the same size in IE but in FF they are both the same size?
