for some reason my page looks diff in IE than in FF. FF render the page correctly if I don't include a doctype or if I use the traditional, if I use strict then firefox will render the page like IE (not aligned). IE render the page miss-aligned regardless if I use strict or traditional doc-type. You can view the page here KaribLink_Members_UPDATE_770_v3 copy 2

IE has problems with this first line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Loose it, you won't need it.

thanks for the reply but that didn't work either in IE, firefox was fine but IE gave the same looks. I generated this file from imageready.

The only other solution I can think of is to check the margins, padding, widths and heights within your css.

You have a serious case of div-itis there ! WAAAYYY too many <div>s, and that is not the proper way to lay out a site.

Perhaps if you eliminated about 35 of those divs (or more) you might be able to figure out what's really going on there.
