Hi, I have developed a page using firefox. It looks different in IE, there are spacings between elements.

Anyone know how to get rid of them? (See screenshots)

Delete the spaces in your code

jpmitchell · #5 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2005, 13:47

Sypher is right... If that doesn't work let us know.

It is very crazy how spaces and breaks in code CAN sometimes translate into layout problems.

benbramz · #6 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2005, 13:52

yeah sounds like that should work
also, you [code] tags next time

ive done it this time

jpmitchell · #7 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2005, 14:00

I think benbramz means: USE [code] tags next time.

I was wondering why it looked a bit wierd.
