thanks for the input James!
What you said is pretty much dead-accurate... but still doesn't fix my poor, sick, and scared little home page
Anywho... from the research I've done, the problem is due to the arrogant, conglomerated, utterly evil empire that calls themselves
Microsoft. Billy [Gates, that is] and his pals have essentially given the W3C (
World Wide Web Consortium), the organization that maintains coding standards, a big cyber middle-finger when it comes to how their browser interprets CSS. While essentially all the other browsers (Firefox, Safari, etc..) follow the strictly mandated guidelines for interpreting CSS, IE does not, more or less just because Microsoft doesn't really agree with the W3C standards, nor do they want to reprogram their crappy (
my opinion anyway) browser.
Although their newer versions work better, certain triggers (how you mentioned a misplaced capital letter) will ruin the look of an entire page... especially if you aren't an expert code-writer dude, which I
certainly am not.
Once again, thanks for the input!
If any brilliant Babblers out there can shed some more light on this I'd be extremely thankful!
cheers,
Johnny
