Hi Francky I logged off just before I got this last night!
First off apologies for working on the page whilst you were looking at it. I have left the page as is and am working on a new directory now http://www.spotlessdesign.com/clients/chp/new/index.html Your fix was perfect! I can't believe it was just one font-size tag that was required! God I love this list!

I'm starting with the good laugh I got at the end of my story, to keep you optimistic. I was trying to find the culprit yesterday, and got it almost, but could not finish in a mail because a lack of time. To do it the simple way, I was taking the html-code for experimenting, while linking to your css-sheet. In the meantime, I see, you have changed the original css: so going on with the new one. But 1 min. ago I saw the css had changed again ... ho, and now again ... you are working on it! :-) The last stylesheet does not show the bottom corners anymore. I'm happy I didn't empty my cache, so I can reconstruct. Here we go. Wondering what combination of things could cause the "duplicate characters bug" and double the bottoms of the rounded boxes, I started commenting out. No, not the #topnavigationbar. No, not the #searchboxarea. No, not the #tabcontainer. No, not the whole #leftnavcolumn. Okay, then the #maincontentarea. No, not ... No, no, no ... And no #maincontentarea to see, just the #rightcolumnarea. No, don't need 3 boxes, 1 is sufficient. No, the middle parts can be missed. Hé, the top roundings seem duplicating as well... No, I need just one working double thing. So, in the end of the story I had just one small, still doubled 'blue_right_col_btm.gif' on a white page. And there was the bigrinn! The doubling in IE is *not *a double rendering, but just showing the background-img as repeating! Reason is that in an empty div, IE is thinking it is a normal line, with the default line-height, default font-size and so on. * I described that in the article Liquid Round Corners - step 1 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners.htm#ste p1>. I solved it with using a small font-size; but if you have the good distances when positioning the 3 colored boxes, then you can also add a *no-repeat* to the background-image. Hoping you don't have changed the main.css while I'm writing this ;-) , here is the: * testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/nwtest-chelmer.htm>.
