maybe someone here can help me out with this, I am pulling my hair out.

I am coding a page and its rendering a white space below the image at the bottom.

It looks fine on IE6 but all other browser show the space.

Try to give the div around the image a height tag.

Code:
<div style="height: 164px;"><img src="/images/main.jpg" width="701" height="164" /></div>

Bear in mind that what that really means is "every browser except IE renders this according to how it's coded, while IE does its own thing". It's IE that doesn't follow the standards, not the other way around!

Regardless, it looks fine in Safari, but without a reference rendering, I can't compare, since I don't have a PC to run.

well that worked (I could have swarn I tried this in my own trouble shooting)

Thank you so much, sometime you need an outside view.

and yes I hate IE, It does its own thing, but when 99% of my client's audiance uses it I have to make sure it looks aceptable. (I love my mac and when I have to use a PC I use Firefox)

Generally speaking, betoranaldi, it is much easier to make a page work in Firefox and then fix it for IE than it is to go the other way around. IE isn't very good about following standards, but it's good enough that when it doesn't work right the tweaks needed to fix it are usually small. However, its behavior isn't very well documented, so even when it seems to work one way, you have no guarantee that this is how HTML is supposed to work at all, and so supporting browsers can become much harder.

I'm not telling you to drop IE support, or even to de-prioritize it. I'm just saying that your workload will be lighter if it's the second browser you test with, as opposed to the first.

Millennium, thanks for this pointer, I will defintally use it, this point foward. I don't normally care about IE and never really had a problem like this before.

Thanks everyone for all of your help on this.
