Woops, gap fixed. space in code.


Happy to know that's fixed and I helped. :-)

I'll tell you how I found it because its rather a new method to me and 
may be to you and others. Its using the "edit css" in Firefox.  Of 
course, you can't see how it effects IE since its just local to Firefox, 
but still ...


and, as far as you're saying you "didn't want to bother the list" imho 
when someone asks questions that I can help with (assuming I have time) 
I consider it a gift because I like helping and its a "learning 
opportunity", too.  Learning opportunities are important to me because I 
just started learning positioning in January and well, you know, the 
mysteries just don't stop.

Thank you for answering Donna,

Validator says 1 error, and it's a h2 tag in a post. I also have a 3 pixel
gap below banner image that's driving me nuts.
body, img, banner, padding and margins set to 0

Standards are great, and I know there is a learning curve, but when one is
trying to exist and make a living, dozens of hours spent over "little
things" make one want to give up and use tables or something. Seriously.
Just frustrated I guess...

hi Bruce:  There are some errors in your html that may be causing it.
Validate your code and then see what's happening.  if you don't have
firefox installed with its webdev extension you probably should and
that's maybe the easiest way to get to the validator.  if you need more
help with that ask and i, or someone, would be happy to look up the urls
for you.

Hi all.

I am new to Web Standards (within 6 months), but learn from this list


daily


and appreciate it.

I have a three column site using fixed positioning. In Internet


explorer,


when first entering the site, some of the text is at the top where it
shouldn't be. If I refresh the page or use the scrollbars it comes ok.


In


Firefox page seems fine...

What would cause this?  I Have no clue even how to do a search on this


one.
