Re: [WSG] IE won't play

Sorry, got waylaid on a few other pressing problems. This answer makes 
complete sense and I feel like a dummy for missing it altogether! 
Thanks to everyone on the list for your help.

Hi Wayne,
Looks like it's the set width that you're using. If you're already 
using
margins on the H2, why not dispense with the width and add the right 
margin,
like so:

#main #homer h2 {
font-size: 117%;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.06em;
line-height: 1.75em;
color: #FFF;
margin: 25px 210px 15px 10px;
text-align: left;
}
This works for me in IE (and the others). That help?

The 380px worked for the top h1 but now IE is centering the h2 text
underneath, even though the CSS says align left. Getting there, but 
why is
IE doing this?

For some dumb reason, IE wants to
drop my text way down on the background image instead putting it at
the  top as the other browsers do.
Your width is a little wide -
#main #homer {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 390px;
z-index: 20;
}
Make is a tad less and it'll be fine.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike, but that didn't work. I tried reducing the width from 
390px to 385px and also changing to width: 100%, neither worked. This 
is so frustrating.

Make it 384px and it does. I think it's the IE margin bug.

Hi Wayne,

Looks like it's the set width that you're using. If you're already using
margins on the H2, why not dispense with the width and add the right margin,
like so:

#main #homer h2 {
font-size: 117%;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.06em;
line-height: 1.75em;
color: #FFF;
margin: 25px 210px 15px 10px;
text-align: left;
}
