Hey guys, im working on a project located here:

http://www.drdavidge.com/colony2/colony-css.php?id=9

In firefox, everything looks great. When I open it in IE, the navigation bar on the left side starts to get a little messed up. There is a little gap between the team logo and the navigation links. There is also about a 1 pixel space on the right side of the navigation table too (where the lighter background color shows through) I've spent a good hour or two messing around with it but haven't had any luck yet.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance.

really easy to fix:

<td rowspan="2" style="background-color: #E47D2A;"><img name="colony_r2_c1" src="images/tennessee/ten_corner_logo.jpg" width="117" height="67" border="0" alt=""></td>

change to:

<td rowspan="2" style="background-color: #E47D2A; height: 67px;"><img name="colony_r2_c1" src="images/tennessee/ten_corner_logo.jpg" width="117" height="67" border="0" alt=""></td>

then the cell knows how big it should be :)
that should fix the problem, however i'm not 100% sure. I use safari myself so can't check :)

Love,
Mirna

hey - i tried your suggestion but it still didnt work.

fortunately, i did figure it out. the white horizontal line spacer image was the culprit. it was taking up a larger line height then it should have. i put the white line image in its own tr and td with a height of 1px and now its fine - thanks for the suggestions everyone.
