would be really grateful if anyone could help me sort this problem out and show me what im doing wrong for cross browser compatability.

Thanks

 

when you link to an external stylesheet you dont need the <style> tags within that css file, remove those and your body padding/margin will work as intended and add #mainContent h1 { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } somewhere your css

so remove

<style type="text/css"> 
<!-- 

-->
</style>

Code (markup):

and add

#mainContent h1 { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; }

Code (markup):

thats interesting...the problems I always have are getting things to show up right in IE7...l love firefox

 

I have the same problems sometimes. Things work in firefox but are whack in IE. Why can't everything just be simple?

 

When I have gap problems I use <div> spacing instead of line or paragraph breaks, as in example

here it comes my content
<br /> <br />
and kepp counting...

Code (markup):

changed to

here it comes my content
<div style="height:3px;"></div>
and kepp counting...

Code (markup):

You can try different height sizes to cope with the problem and you can even integrate it into your stylesheet as a divider class or a series of dividers to be reused as needed

 

Yeah, wierd how somethings work for others. BTW: i see your from Tampa. We are flying into Florida next Saturday for a vacation, cant wait. keep the weather nice for us please
