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?
