 * Theres a small problem but I fail to see where the problem is.
 * [http://www.fortherestless.com/news.php](http://www.fortherestless.com/news.php)
   compared to
    [http://fortherestless.com/forms/newz/?m=2010](http://fortherestless.com/forms/newz/?m=2010)
 * The archive has a small padding on top, between the first row and the browser
   window whereas the other pages do not have this.
 * The archive uses the same css files as the rest of the pages so I’m not sure 
   what it is that causes this.
 * Anyone who can point me to the error ?

 * You have two empty table rows on the m=2010
 *     ```
       <tr>
       <td> &nbsp;</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td> &nbsp;</td>
       </tr>
       ```

 * Thanks but I’m afraid that’s not the problem, I should have been clearer.
    I 
   uploaded a picture of the problem, which only seems to happen in IE, not in firefox.
 * The archive has a small border, above the “contact/policy/search” row.
    It should
   not be there, since I use the same css files everywhere so the problem comes 
   from somewhere else, perhaps the archive or index page but I can’t find it…
 * Above picture is the problem (pointed at with the arrow), the lower picture is
   how it should look.

 * You have a [few markup issues](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffortherestless.com%2Fforms%2Fnewz%2F%3Fm%3D2010&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2#line-165),
   fixing these will likely fix the theme in IE, IE is more sensitive to markup 
   errors where Firefox will supress them.
 * There may seem a lot but fixing any unclosed tags will fix lots of the other 
   attribute errors.
 * You have a lot of injected plugin code in the <head></head> section, disable 
   all plugins check the theme and then enable them one at a time to see when it
   breaks.
 * This indicates the issue is a script between the head tags!

   > You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close”

   > Line 16, Column 2: start tag was here <script>
