Thanks, Philippe. My pages do have a DTD, but they are loaded within the eLearning platform's own code, and I can't modify any of it.
Well, I guess editing pictures to add the padding it is :-( The idea of the span is a good one, but modifying the HTML files within the platform is even more painful than editing all the pictures all over again. Thanks for answering! Ester PS: How can you see if IE is in Standard or Quirks mode?
