Weird IE top margin?

    I'm trying to get this site IE compatible:

    http://www.pubbsoft.com

    As far as I can tell, FF and Chrome, Safari are all good. IE is even good on every page EXCEPT the home page. I'm getting a funky top margin looking space right at the top of the screen.

    Can anyone (with firebug and/or chrome tools) help me out there with the css or whatever?

    While we are it, is there a firebug equivalent for IE?

    Well, your site looks weird in ie7 since it has a wide side scroll, for some reason, you should look into that.
    The top margin thing is probably because you have a bunch of div tags on the page that you have self-closed.(<div />)
    A div is not supporting this kind of self closure, ff, chrome etc. thay all see it a a start tag for a div, and than finds no closing tag, so it closes them per auto.
    IE can't do that, so you'll neet to get them replaced with <div></div> instead.

    That will probably solve some of your problems

    I did a fix. Could someone please verify that they are not having issues. I think I'm using IE7 and have no problems.
