I read a bunch of previous posts about the padding problem that I am experiencing between IE8 and earlier versions (IE7.6). I already tried resetting my CSS, as mentioned earlier, but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The problem is best illustrated by screenshots (see below), but in the css application that I added, I am sure that the problem is somewhere in the addition in header_left and header_center, which is incorrectly reflected in IE6 / 7, My full site width is always up to 980 pixels, so my math is fine ...
IE6 or 7 (problems)
IE8 (no problem)
Here is my HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
<title>Application Form</title>
<link href="xyx.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
