Here's the link:  http://therealmazook.com/HauntedHouse/tickets.php  Why for the love of god does this happen with stupid IE?????  It's like it's pushing my text up and down depending on which browser you use.  There is no padding for either of these divs in the css.  With firefox, I've got space between the top of the divs and the text.  With internet explorer, I've got space between the bottom of the divs and the text.  Is there no way to center the content so it doesn't matter which browser you use???  It's not like I've got random css goin on...here's the code for the divs:

#dates{
float: left;
background-image:url(images/divBG.png);
width: 400px;
height: 150px;
margin-left: 300px;
margin-top: 40px;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#prices{
background-image:url(images/divBG.png);
clear: left;
float: left;
width: 650px;
height: 400px;
margin-left: 175px;
}

Anyone gotta clue?

well zook...as far as the 40 px margin...heres what i came up with and its working

float that dates to the left, add top margin of 40, remove the left/right auto margin and manually center it with a left margin of 100 ( or whatever your left margin needs to be to center it) now thats working off the model that i showed you with everything being nested in side the wrapper.

probably not the best fix, I am going to keep working on this...I canot for the life of me figure out why top margins arent working in nested divs in ie8...just friggin goofy

i think the better way would be to (using that model) add a set height div of 40 width of 1040 right above that dates...but i understand you not wanting to change it all around..

edit...lol..or say screw it and table-ize that mofo !!!

sweeeet, fixed it

i emailed you the fix...lol..you r gonna laugh when you see it

What's the fix homies?

Aw zook my friend, I feel for you bro.  I'll have some time tonight if you want me to take a look  see.  Just PM me man.

yeah i did a lot of reasearch on the subject last night and it turns out it's a big bug in ie.

when you have a nested div like we had....and the parent div doesn't have any actual content, it gets all screwy when you wanna set a top margin. There are several hacks for fixing this...such as a float left then manually set a margin to center (fyi float right wont work only left)..you can also make a .clear div and sink it in...there were also a couple others that i found, but just popping a $nbsp; into the code right after you open the parent div fixed that margin right up.

I can't believe I've never seen this before, surely I have used it... stupid ie !
