    Alignment problem HELP!

    Hi guys, first post and what a great resource the forum is. Been lurking around for a while now but recently hit a problem so thought id ask for advice here.

    I'm having problems with the alignment/display of a box on a website i am creating for a friend. It views fine in IE but not in firefox or safari. If i change the height of the #rightimg div to 452 it views fine in Firefox but not IE anymore.

    I'v uploaded the page here

    Any help or advice would be great

    Thanks

    Give the div a width and float it to the right :
    Code:
    #apDiv1 #rightimg {
    	background-image: url(assets/side.jpg);
    	background-repeat: no-repeat;
    	background-position: right center;
    	height: 447px;
    	width: 301px;
    	float: right;
    }

    Thankyou very much for your help, although i cant preview it in IE here at home, it worked at treat in Firefox and Safari

    Is there anyway i can get hold of IE for Mac or maybe a plugin for firefox that would allow me to run IE on a MaC, What do other web designers do in this situation?

    Many thanks again.

    Go to the Mozilla site and get the Firefox extension called "IE-tab". It lets you switch the rendering engine of Firefox from Gecko ("Mozilla-mode") to Trident ("IE-mode") and you get to see the page being tested in the way IE view things. VERY, VERY useful tool this one!

    Hi mate, it says IE-tab is not available for Mac OSX

    Could someone check the site again to make sure it is OK in IE for me.

    There are a couple of gaps in IE6, which these additions will take care of :
    Code:
    #apDiv1 #navbar {
    	background-image: url(assets/navbar.jpg);
    	height: 31px;
    	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    	overflow: hidden;
    }
    
    #header img {
    	display: block;
    }

    No IE-tab for FX/Mac? GRR!!

    Anyway, IE-tab for Firefox/pc shows just a small discrepancy in the bottom orange bar, just in front of the car's bumper (image attached)

    Else, in Firefox, everything looks exactly the same.

    which is fixed with the header image style change noted above.
