Looks like you have just encountered, and demonstrated, the effect of
"non-breaking spaces" ( ) on inline-content, and I have yet to
figure out what makes *all those other browsers* "think" they should
break "non-breaking spaces" the way they do.

Maybe I one day will find out that browsers are "allowed to" break
"non-breaking spaces", for some obscure legacy-reason or whatever.


*Now, to make things work*

I think you should start by making up your mind about which standard you
want to mark up in accordance to, and then clean up the markup
accordingly. What you have is no good, I'm afraid...

<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dmcentral.net%2Ftest%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606>


Next step would be to get rid of all "non-breaking spaces" between those
images, and use CSS to line the images up - as block-element.

The addition of...

#img_cursor h1 {clear: left;}
#img_cursor img {float: left; margin: .3em .5em 0 0;}

...will do wonders on a good markup.


The result should look somewhat like this...

<http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/dmg/test_09_0226.html>

...and have valid markup in accordance with a suitable (I just picked
one) standard...

<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gunlaug.no%2Ftos%2Falien%2Fdmg%2Ftest_09_0226.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606>


Once that's done there shouldn't be any major disagreements across
browser-land.
