Hi Guys, I would extremely appreciate if something can help me fix this. It happens in IE only and not Firefox. I am making an ebay listing design for one of my female clients. However there is a light problem with the main section aligning itself. Here is the full code: In Firefox, the layout looks like this, which is perfectly normal: http://www.imgsync.com/data/img/991184713-07-2008_17-54-35.jpg In IE however, the DIV with id "green_container" floats to the left when it's made perfectly clear that it should be in the centre. http://www.imgsync.com/data/img/106391813-07-2008_17-55-10.jpg Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? I would absolutely adore any potentially conclusive assistance!

The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).</p> <p><img src="http://simplisticstyle.com/clients/tessas/grey/images/payments.gif" alt="Payments" width="313" height="35" /></p> <p> Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.

Looks like you need to specify width for that div. Internet will read it literally and float the box to the furthest end of the table/div width without wrapping text. Set a width.
Which DIV do you mean? Nevermind guys, I found temporary fix. Will be using a table to centre instead until I find the complete fix.
Even though you decided on tables it was the div containing and controlling this portion. <img src="http://simplisticstyle.com/clients/tessas/grey/images/desc.gif" alt="Description" width="204" height="35" /><br /> <p><strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
