Hi all, Sorry if the subject was not descriptive enough as I Have no idea what to call the bug.
I am having a problem with IE, of course, and I can not seem to figure out why. I have narrowed my code down to a bare minimum to rule out errors I may have caused. I have validated the code. You can see the result here: http://gnomemonastery.com/my_files/bug.html The code will be at the end of this email. The problem is that for each block (.leftBlock) IE is pulling the text over a little to the left. So that by the end my text is way out of it container. I spent several hours trying to find a something online that would have explained it but to no avail. The problem is caused by 1 of 3 things because when I remove any of thsoe three things the problem goes away. .leftBlock .blockBody { border-left: 2px solid #840e0e; padding: 5px; } If I remove the border the problem goes away. If I remove the padding the problem goes away. If I remove the div inside of <div class='blockBody'> (the one with the text "Footer" in it) the problem goes away. I have no idea why IE is doing this. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. --------------------------------- CODE - its kind of long sorry --------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
