I think I have fixed this by applying some height and removing margins, but will also look at suggested article.

Many thanks again to all.

I tried creating a new image file for the third link 'home-administration.jpg'. This comprises both black & white and colour versions of the image next to each other, with the CSS changing the position when the link is hovered over. The page loads OK in IE, but when hovering over the last link for the first time, the whole link & image shifts vertically. It then remains in the same position subsequently.

Any suggestions?


I'm sorry I'm in mid-deadline and can't research this properly, but very briefly I wonder if it might be related to IE's sanity-straining shift on hover, as described here:

Why would setting and/or changing the background-position on hover would trigger this phenomenon? I suspect it relates to the fact that you're making your list items inline even while they contain anchors made block:

        #serviceNav ul li{
display : inline; /* Kludge to fix gaps between lines in IE/Win */
        }

        #serviceNav ul li a{
          display : block;
        ...
