adsense stylesheets broken in IE ?

I recently started placing 2 - 250x250 ad units side by side in my site in a table.

The ads display perfectly fine in Firefox, but in IE it appears the stylesheet malfuctions .. and the result is uglier than sin!

Any ideas? Has anybody else encountered this, and does anybody know how to correct it?

I would like both ad units to be white BG and #000099 Link text

Here is how it looks now in IE6 :

 

You are probably missing the

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

after the first ad unit. You need to have it in there for both to display properly, and to be within the AdSense terms.

 

Hey Jen!

I checked my code, and that above-mentioned piece is present after both link units.

I am still at a loss as to why these fugly ads are appearing, but only in IE

Anybody else Have this issue?

Can you post the code you're using for the 2 ad units? The stylesheet should be ignored by IE6 if you have the colors selected in the ad code.

 

are you using template engine ??

if so make sure to put ad code {literal} .....

 

<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0">  
    <tr>  
      <td><script type="text/javascript"><!--  
google_ad_client = "pub-8443958180884862";  
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.hotbluetoothnews.com/chitika_250.php";  
google_ad_width = 250;  
google_ad_height = 250;  
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";  
google_ad_type = "text";  
google_ad_channel ="6164617790";  
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";  
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";  
google_color_link = "000099";  
google_color_url = "CCCCCC";  
google_color_text = "000000";  
//--></script><script type="text/javascript"  
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">  
</script></td>  
<td><script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.hotbluetoothnews.com/chitika_250.php";  
google_ad_width = 250;  
google_ad_height = 250;  
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";  
google_ad_type = "text";  
google_ad_channel ="6164617790";  
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";  
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";  
google_color_link = "000099";  
google_color_url = "CCCCCC";  
google_color_text = "000000";  
//--></script>  
<script type="text/javascript"  
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">  
</script></td>  
    </tr>  
  </table>

What is template engine?

Sorry, I was unable to recreate your problem on my site utilizing your code. Both ads showed up perfectly for me.

 

Sure!
I appreciate the help ...

and it only happens in IE (not W3C compliant I know ... but unfortunately most of the web still uses the POS! lol)

If it helps, the ads are beig served thru PHPAdsNew as Remote Javascript Invocation
