Why do my images meet flush with the background in firefox, but they are a little under the background in IE.

Here it is, open it up in IE and firefox and you'll see what I am saying..

Any ideas??

I'll never understand why anyone bothers to use divs and css if you're going to stuff it into a table .

Zero out the margins and padding on the table for starters.

Your site, as it is, is terribly inaccessible - using an image map for the navigation is awful. Navigation should be TEXT, not images, and certainly not an image-map when a text list will do nicely.

The position:absolute is unnecessary if you learn to use divs and css properly with the normal document flow.

Frankly I'm disgusted by this fat ridiculous code that was clearly spat out by a WYSIWYG user with little to no understanding of how the markup language actuall works. I recommend actually learning XHTML and following the standards, not just having a program spit crap out for you. If you want a quick hack to fix your "problem"(imo the whole page is a problem), try setting body selector values to:

body {
background-image: url(http://www.burginconstructioninc.com/NewSite/backgroundtile.jpg);
margin-top: 8px;
}


That should fix your problem specifically for firefox/IE, but I recommend redoing the entire site properly hand-coded and xhtml standard. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

Sorry for being harsh, just how I am. XD

Harshness might be 'the way you are' ,but you need to lighten up instead of coming down like a ton a bricks.

XHTML isn't necessary, HTML 4.01 STRICT would do the job for most people.
Yes, the code is a mess and was obviously done with Dreamweaver in WYSIWYG mode, but this is a help forum, and there are always going to be a lot of people who want a web site, or build one for someone else, who have not learned to hand-code - which I definitely recommend.

Take it down a notch, please.

My apologies for the harsh words, I'll refrain from coming down like that in the future. As far as HTML 4.0.1 Strict goes, it would be fine for most people, however it is my opinion that XHTML 1.0 Strict is easier to learn which is why I recommended it instead.

LOL holy **** you guys are a bunch of ****ing losers!!! LOL chill out, I obviously don't know HTML. You dumb****s.
