Andreas,
You have:
#draft table{padding:0 15px 0 25px;}
Ideally with
div
of
the background-image. This only seems to happen in IE - Firefox acknowledges
the padding I gave the table and moves everything 25px inwards:
#draft table{padding:0 15px 0 25px;}
Any ideas on how this could be fixed?
Thanks heaps!
