phew - ! - that was hard work :-)

clearly some css somewhere is affecting it - and not immediately
apparent.

Sorry forgot do you have Dw 8, Dw CS3 ?

do you know how to use the CSS STYLES panel - click on the <div
class="Contact_Us">

all I see is color ~FFFFFF
font family Arial etc
font size 18px
margin-top - 25px ???
padding-left

maybe try doing a specific bit of descendant css like this:



modify html ( the span )
<div class="Contact_Us">
<h4><span>T:</span> 01844 274166 <span>F:</span> 01844 274286
<span>E:</span> info@market-monitor.co.uk</h4>
</div>

modify css


..Contact_Us h4 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-top: 20px;
/* margin-top: 25px; */ /* not padding - use padding */
}

..Contact_Us span {color: #F00000}; /* to replace .style1 - makes
letters red */


this targets very directly the above piece of html with a higher
specificity.

that seems to work here,
BUT - you still have that IE6 problem with <div class="Main_Content">
dropping down. !!!.

You really need IE6 on your PC - as well as IE7 as about 35 to 45% of
people still use IE6 according to many sources.

I ma using CS3 - I will try your suggestion and see how get on! Thanks for
looking it, obviously it is a hard nut to crack!

The IE6 problem is stumping me - i really dont know how to solve it, i have
tried changing all the paddings and margins and nothing is working! I dont have
IE6 but i keep running it through browsershots and i can see that nothing is
solving the problem!

And the other problem you have seen i also knew about - having been playing
around with this and again i have no idea how to fix it!

I am by no means a pro at html but I know enough to change things around - it
is when nothing works that i get stumped!

been there - got the teashirt :-)

I've learnt not to play around with code without keeping regular back
ups, on each new idea - save the files as backup - otherwise you ed up
with css files with lots of superfluous additions/ changes and just
makes debugging more difficult.

Hello,

If you change the width of the main content to 500px, does it still drop in
IE6?
It looks like a float drop, but quickly looking it's hard to tell which IE6
bug(s) might be causing it...3px jog, double float margin, etc.

For the contact us area in FF, what happens if you change H4 to this:

h4 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 24px 10px;
}

Take care,
Tim

Morning again everyone!

Right the footer problem has taken a new twist - I changed as per Malcolms
instructions - however it has now made it good in Firefox but made it bad in
IE! Any more suggestions - i really dont know where to go with this now.......

Also the IE6 problem with the main content has been fixed, but I am still
getting problems with the positioing in Firefox for
http://www.market-monitor.co.uk/ig_contactus.html - again any suggestions, i
presume it is some styling that i need to do on the <div> that the form is
sitting in.....
