I don't think that i have ever actually posted code to a forum, so I'll give it a try. This isn't my first site, but I am by no means a web designer, so be kind. :)

Here is the problem. I've built this site and it renders fine in Safari, Firefox, Camino, Netscape, Opera, and Shiira, I just can't get the menu to align right in IE. Here is the link if it doesn't post correctly. <a href="The style sheet and javascript are also available at that link.

Code:

I tried to strip it down, but i'm not sure where the problem lies, so it is still rather long. The images (2 & 3) in the menu on the left should be aligned so that there is no space between the elements.

Sorry I hope I made sense.
 
I can't seem to see your pictures and the page looks more or less the same in IE6 and Mozilla.
 
You mention lots of browsers... what specific platform are you experiencing this problem on? Are you seeing this problem on a Mac or on Windows (and if you are using a Mac and testing with Safari then I assume MacOSX)? More specifically... what version of IE are you experiencing this problem with?

Just need some more details before I can give any answers.
Jeff
