    Hi! I am new to designing websites and watched your converting photoshop into css (great by the way!!). I tweaked the code a little to make a different layout. However, it looks great in firefox and safari but breaks in ie. I am at a lost to what code I am missing. Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

    The link is:

    and the external code I am using is:
    (its from the tutorial but tweaked)

    Code:
    /* RESETS & BASIC PAGE SETUP */
    * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    body {
    background: url(‘images/body-bg.jpg’) top left;; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:normal; font-size:62.5%; font-family:Lucida Grande, sans-serif
    }

    ul { list-style: none inside; }
    p { font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; }
    p.metadata { background: #fff9a7; padding: 3px;}
    a { outline: none; }
    a img { border: none; }

    h1 {
    font-family: Georgia, serif;
    font-size: 2.4em;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #80728a;
    }
    h1#logo {
    width: 654px;
    height: 112px;
    background: url(‘images/header.jpg’) no-repeat center;
    text-indent: -9999px
    }

    /* END RESET */

    /* TOOLBOX */
    .floatleft { float: left; }
    .floatright { float: right; }
    .clear { clear: both; }
    /* END TOOLBOX */

    /* STRUCTURE AND STUFF */

    Welcome to the Internet.

    Well, you didn’t say what was wrong with it, so I’ll guess:

    White space below the logo:
    Get rid of the space between the IMG and UL, so it looks like this:

    Code:
    header mockup

    Let me know if that helps

    Hi! Yep, it was that white line on the banner that was messing up. I couldn’t get the images to connect. I tried your suggestion and it didnt work. After doing some research, I found something on image containers and tried that and that seemed to do the trick to connect the images together. Thanks again for your response!
