In firefox, Welcome to the NEW Clumped and Welcome to the NEW Clumped have the same spacing at the top, same spacing and width for the right column and everything displays fine.

Look at it in IE however and you'll see that the index page somehow has this 2-line spacing and there is this really weird thing happening with the right column. First, there's this "grey... thing" at the right column(top) which I do not want it to appear.
Second the padding-left doesn't really work with width the way it does in login.
Third the width for the box with the background is wrong and there is the 3px-textjog not seen in login.

If someone can clarify(shed light) on the problem please help

Kind iof interesting thing going on here. When I open the page in IE then view source, there is a little character before your first opening bracket. When I copy and paste the code into DW, this character shows up as a "J" Not reallyh sure what is causing this because it isn't there when I performed the exact same procedure in FF.

I am not sure why you have decided to use theXHTML 1.0 Transitional doc type..? I would try using html 4 transitional doc type instead.. It may make a difference. IE could be bombing out for some reason due to this. (I don't know for sure..)

Try using this as your opening doc type declaration:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

and strip out the stuff from your opening html tag.. <html> It is best to use Transitional 4.01. Some experts argue that using the HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL is the best way to go...and that usingXHTML 1.0 Transitional doesn't really do what it is intended to do. Especially when using in conjunction with xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.

I would start here for sure and see what happens. If it has no impact let us know. We'll try again...

I can't remove the character(something in the shape of []) when I do a php include, it just happens. Somehow doesn't happen on other pages

UPDATE: it does nothing

Chip Johns is right about the character which appear in the html source and now you said that its because of the php script. Can you please post the php script which you include in that page so that any solution can be thought of.

took a look and sorry but that is some pretty bad coding..

This may be a bit of subject, but in what way is telling someone their coding is bad helping? If you have some helpful advice along with critisism, that would be constructive critisism, however, just telling someone their coding is bad and offering no solutions is just insulting. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but perhaps you could keep that in mind in your future posts.
