Need help troubleshooting a minor HTML issue

    Hello everyone,

    I've just started putting together a site and I've run into a small display issue where I can't get the border lines to line up with the header graphic in both IE and FF. If I line it up in one browser, it's off in the other, and vice vera. Anyways, here's the link so you can see what I'm talking about...

    Would anyone be so kind as to have a look at the page source and see if you could figure out why it displays correctly in one browser and not the other? Hopefully it's something simple.

    BTW- I'm using a WYSIWYG HTML editor to create this as I don't know much HTML.

    Thanks!

    You have IE in quirks mode where it uses the wrong box model. Use a complete DTD, including the url, to trigger standards mode.

    cheers,

    Thanks Gary, but I'm not really familiar with what you're talking about. Could you point me to a tutorial or web page that explains it?

    Thanks.
