I suppose you are referring to lack of numbers for items 39 and 42, as mentioned in the discussion on that page. The problem does not appear on IE 8. I would start debugging by fixing the HTML syntax. The page has 195 markup errors, according to the W3C markup validator. Most of the errors are caused by the use of HTML 4.01 syntax on a page declared to be XHTML 1.0. If you change the doctype declaration and fix the few XHTML-specific constructs to HTML 4.01, you'll have just a few error messages left, and they may be significant, like lack of end tag for a DIV element. Probably that does not fix the IE 7 issue, but it's useful to have the syntax right. Then you should check the CSS syntax as well. I guess the only potentially serious among the CSS syntax errors is at line 169 of http://arborupdate.com/textpattern/css.php?s=article where you have: h3.topic { text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:normal; font-size:12px; margin:15px; 0px 0px 0px; } The semicolon after "15px" should probably not be there - or the "0px 0px 0px;" should not be there at all. For the IE 7 issue, I would start from checking whether the problem exists without CSS, then (if it does not) add your CSS rules at a time until the problem appears. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
