    Hey guys, long time reader first time poster :)

    I’ve just finished updating a site (created by someone else) and it works very nicely in Safari/Firefox etc, but in IE on some pages the content appears in the wrong place.

    Pick a fight with inspiration
    In order to make money for you and make your brand even more famous, we live by six golden rules. After all, it’s a battlefield out there and we want to be victorious.

    learn to fight
    No matter how successful your business, one can never learn too much about how to compete.

    Show the way
    Always work co-operatively but take responsibility for all your actions and outcomes.

    Know the facts
    Always listen. Consider everything before taking action and use all knowledge wisely.

    Do it better
    Never stop looking for new ideas and create the opportunity to win. Different is good.

    Seize the day
    The most important success factor in any competition is speed. Simple methods are effective and inexpensive.

    Keep them guessing
    Always be one step ahead of your opponents. Combine expected and unexpected tactics.

    I see no problem with it with the code you gave me on IE 6 &7 so that may mean it’s one of the images that alter the dimensions of the divs that make it drop down.

    If you upload a live one I’ll be glad to check it out agian

    Ah cool, so one of the images is too wide for the DIV?

    Thats great news! Many thanks! :)

    lol I’m not exactly sure but from what I’ve seen (since I didn’t have the images and it worked) that should be the problem.

    Test it out and see
