Solving one problem causes another...

[John Patrick]

I hope everyone can follow this:

I've got a website that I recently re-designed with CSS and Included content
instead of shared borders. I'm very happy with the results so far, but have
run into a couple of issues. Every page on my site has the same (included)
masthead that has an Entropy Search. I wanted the search return page
template to match the rest of the pages, but discovered that you can't
"include" content on the Entropy search return template. The page would
display with the search results, but the included content doesn't show. So,
I built a search result template that has all the HTML (including the
"included" content) on one page and saved it as my search results template.
This works fine in IE, but when the page is viewed in Netscape and Opera,
part of the masthead looks bad.

Here's my page: http://www.motorcityrock.com. Type Illusion in the search
at the top of the page and hit enter. In IE 6, the results page displayed
as designed. However, in Netscape, the small GIF to the left of the search
text box drops to the bottom of the cell, and with Opera, the small GIF is
correct...but the actual search box is aligned too high.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Here are some things to try.

1. Get rid of the <p> that precedes the <img> tag for
search_button.gif.
2. Set valign for that cell *and* the cell that contains
your form to middle.
3. Add style="margin:0" to your <form> tag.

As a general comment, you have *way* too many in-line
styles. You should be creating and assinging class
selectors instead.
