As David Laakso already observed, you have no DOCTYPE, so all versions of IE run in "backwards compatible" or "quirks" mode, with lots of non-standard behavior. David's suggestion to add a suitable DOCTYPE is a good one, although that won't fix IE prior to version 6. The solution for older IE, as well as IE 6 or 7 in "quirks" mode, is to put a declaration of "text-align: center;" in the rule for the BODY selector, which (wrongly) centers everything inside it, not just the text. Add the declaration "text-align: left;" to the rule for "contenedor" to correct the text alignment. In the same way, add "text-align: center;" to the "contenedor_gris" rule, and "text-align: left;" to the rule for "contenido". I hope you understand my explanation. Your English seems very good, so I am assuming you are fluent. (I am living in California now, and have absolutely no excuse for not knowing Spanish!) Cordially, David -- www.hucklesby.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
