Hello all,
I am new to the forum and also fairly new to CSS. I am having an issue with div aligments (I think the issue is with div alignment) only on IE. Look at the gap between the top banner and the body of the page. This is what I am talking about:
IE (with gap):
All other browsers with no gap (FF, Chrome, Safari and a few more from Linux):
I wish I could post a link to the site but it lives on my intranet.
The code is as follows:
Index page:
<?php
session_start();
