Header Issues between different Browsers

[expeditionman]

I made a new header image and it looks good on Firefox, but does not line up right on IE7 or Opera. http://customtruckz.net/forums/index.php
Here is the code

<td class="logo_bg"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo.gif" width="1045" height="123" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
      <td colspan="4" class="logo_bg" style="text-align:left ;padding-left: 10px;" ></a></td>

The style we are using is not fixed and I am running it at 95% width. Not sure if this is an issue with screen resolutions or the way different browsers read the information.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your site looks the same to me in IE 8, FF and Opera.

You are sending the IE 7 compatibility header, correct? You should set that to 'No' while you are styling the site so you can easily flip between IE 8 and 7 "modes" while designing your style. If anything shifts up or down, left or right when you press the IE 7 compatibility button by the address bar it will most likely be due to nested paddings that you can easily fix.

Why do you have the second TD in your code above? (there is also an </a> you need to remove in there)

This is the code that was already in the style, all I did was upload the new banner to the server, and just overwrote the existing .gif file.

So that second line can be done away with?

And yes, we are running the IE7 compatibility.

I do not see why it can not be done away with. Why does it use "colspan=4"? Is there a row with five columns within the same table?

Regardless, you do not need it.

You should turn off IE 7 headers. It will make it easier for you to find and fix small incompatibilities so that your style will look somewhat close on most browsers.
