    Basically everything is fine in FF, but not so swell in IE. For some reason IE is padding or setting a margin between the images that are placed one on top of the other.

    Don't you think seeing the markup and stylesheet would help? A link would be even better.

    cheers,

    It is really hard to make sense of an empty page. If you start to design without having content to design for, you're going backward.

    The real issue here is that you don't have a proper DTD. That triggers quirks mode, where IE is even more stupid than usual. Which means, that x-browser compatibility is a Quixotic quest. Please add an html 4.01 strict, or xhtml 1.0 strict DTD, and validate the markup and correct for valid syntax.

    Trying to debug a page with invalid markup in quirks mode is like leveling a house built on quicksand.

    cheers,
