I only know enough HTML to get by and I seem to be having a browser compatibility issue. I was changing around some things on my site today and thought I had everything right as it looked ok in Firefox. But when I checked it later in IE everything was messed up, so I went to a site that checks your site in multiple browsers I saw that the header is messed up most of the time in IE. So I thought there might be someone here that could help out.



I have 2 logos. 1 on the right side and one on the left with ..."Filler?" in the middle (dunno the term but small .jpg repeated over and over) anyways, heres some pictures. This is what it looks like in IE here and this is what it should like here





Here is the HTML I am using so far to achieve these results.
Text Formatted Code
<td width="269" background="{layout_url}/theme-images/filler.jpg"><a href="{site_url}"><img src="{layout_url}/theme-images/tblm.jpg" alt="Welcome to The Blue Machine" border="0" align="left"></a> <img src="http://www.thebluemachine.com/layout/TBLM2/theme-images/logo2.jpg" align=right </td>
 


Anyone got a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Can someone help me

you need to close the img tag to start with.
like this
Text Formatted Code
<td width="269" background="{layout_url}/theme-images/filler.jpg"><a href="{site_url}"><img src="{layout_url}/theme-images/tblm.jpg" alt="Welcome to The Blue Machine" border="0" alt="" align="left" /></a><img src="{layout_url}/theme-images/logo2.jpg" alt="" align="right" /></td>


 

and on the page in question you have a closing body and html tag right after that td--not good.

but your issue in question will be fixed if you get rid of the width="269"

You should use two td and put one graphic in each td .

Set the second td to align right.

you need "margin:0px" in the style.scc "body" tag.

Or simply add margin="0" in the header's "body" setting.
