   I really hope this is the last time I bother you guys, you've been so great to get me up and going through my newbie issues, and I gotta tell you, I never would have gotten there with MT, which was killing me - I love WP!

   So anyway, perhaps there's nothing that can be done about this, but if anyone knows you guys do. I was really excited to learn about absolute and relative positions, they allowed me to put my permalinks exactly where I wanted, my meta data where I wanted and so on, but then I run into the awful devil known as IE. If I get it the way I want it in Firefox (and virtually all other browsers) it doesn't work in IE, and vice versa. Since most of my visitors will be using IE (can't stop them) I have my meta data where I want it in IE, but looks funky in others. The problem is that IE adds extra space between my permalink and my content text, and then adds a larger spance in the body of my content text.

   Is there any way with CSS hacks or anything to make IE comply with this small request? I have seen some amazing IE hacks, but nothing specifically related to that.

   Check it out in Firefox and IE at http://www.leftcoastlifestyle.com and you will see what I mean.

   And thanks again...

   I've found for problematic IE, I have to use * html
   for my css elements, which all other others ignore, at least so
   far.

   ex:
   .door {
   margin: 0;
   padding:0;
   }

   * html .door {/*IE WIN*/
   margin:5px 0 0 0;
   padding:0;
   }

   Okay, did a little more research and made a visual comparison so you can see the problem, IE and Opera space things the same, Firefox and Netscape space them differently, here's a link to a page where you can see it:

   It doesn't seem like much, but can throw an entire WP layout out of whack, depending on the browser used. I want to believe there is some way to compensate for this one way or the other, but I have no idea what it would be...
