Some CSS issues....

[chump2877]

I've got some CSS issues with the following page: http://www.mediamogulsweb.com/client/index.php .

In IE:

1) Extra dark grey space at the top and bottom of text boxes on the right...need to get rid of this space

2) Need to get the "Go!" search submit button to look lke it does in Firefox....you'll notice there is an extra thin line of grey above the submit in IE...I need to get rid of this

Thanks for any help with this!

Solution for grey space - add to text_box1 and text_box2 -

margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;

Not sure about submit problem yet.

[chump2877]

maybe you misunderstood....

The grey space is not the light gray space between the text boxes...it's the dark gray lines (I guess that's what they are) that are attached to the tops and bottoms of the text boxes themselves....if you look at the code, the top and bottom parts of the text boxes are an image...those images don;t resemble what is currently being rendered in IE...

see what I mean? It supposed to look like it does in FF...

Thanks for helping me out though....

Ack, I still need help with this...where's Aerospace Engineer when you need him?

Please don't pm me about your problems unless its something that has to be really private. Now back to your problem. Can you say whitespace? IE6 reads whitespace as slight line breaks. Try this for the relevant html

<div id="main_content_container">
<div id="content_right">
<!-- top text box -->
<div class="text_box1">
<img src="images/featcontent/stardates.gif" alt="">

The space on your form is also more than likely due to whitespace.

[chump2877]

Sorry

Can you say whitespace? IE6 reads whitespace as slight line breaks.

I closed up the white space in the relevant code, but it didn;t seem to help.

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

It worked for me.

[chump2877]

Can you post the HTML code that is working for you...I tried dumping the source code into a .html file, eliminating ALL spaces anywhere, and it's still not working for me....sorry to bother you

[chump2877]

Sigh, nevermind...the text boxes look OK in IE now...

I still can;t seem to fix the search submit button in IE....there is a thin gray line above it...it should look like it does in Firefox...

Also, now in Firefox the background image of #content_container won;t appear and there is a thin slivver of a line beneath the second-to-top text box on the right that I didn;t notice before....

[chump2877]

Ok, I fixed the search submit button....

I still have this problem, if anyone can help:

Nevermind, I fixed everything.
