I have the following HTML that works perfectly in IE 5.2 for the Mac, and Safari for the Mac. It also works perfectly for Firefox for Mac & PC.

However, in IE explorer for the PC..a white box on the last two sentances doesn't display the background (it shows a white box).

This is NOT my HTML, its from my boss (whose out of town) and states that I somehow messed this up (I only changed THREE copy changes, a coma to a semicolan, added a dash and changed one word).

Any suggestions I'd be ever so in your debt. This is TIME SENSATIVE and is supposed to go out the door tonight/tomorrow morning.

For some reason the overflowing text is pushing the picture out.

To fix this:
Delete the first instance of the paragraph break (before the text starts)
The paragraph space is quite large in IE, which is a factor.

And remove another paragraph break somewhere (i.e. the <p> and </p>) to move the text up, the pic will appear.

My bill is in the mail.

Thanks..

I'm a print designer and don't do HTML. Yet, my boss goes out of town and I'm getting a crash course in HTML and having marketing chiefs killing me to get this fixed..

I so very much appreciate it!!!!

No probs.

I'm not even a website designer, just familiar with Dreamweaver and 'very' familiar with HTML (I used to code entire sites in Notepad!)

I hope you made the deadline?
