Hey,

I did a very quick placeholder page for my friend;

www.dollshousepoker.com

Basically, there is a problem when it is displayed on IE on a PC. The 'g' from 'girls' seems clipped at the bottom. This doesn't happen on other browsers on the PC, or Safari or Firefox on my mac. So it's something specific to a PC and IE, and I'm not sure why this is happening :rolleyes:

If some of you more clever people could take a look at the source code and tell me the reason why the 'g' is being clipped.

Thankyou!
 
A screenshot and the page code (in the html code tags, ie. the <> button) would be preferable to just a link.

I, for one, don't click unknown links if I can avoid it... paranoid, you say...? Maybe, but hey, better safe than sorry... ;)
 
I don't have access to a PC to grab the screeny from IE atm, sorry.

A couple of "small" things for starters: You start the <table> tag before your <body> tag (and it's also missing the </body> tag). And the <style> tag should be in the <head> tag.
 
It is odd... lol

May I ask which browser you used? I tried both Safari and FireFox in OSX and it displayed correctly :S

Lmao I didn't even look at that level - yes, that's pretty screwed.

Displays correctly in Camino, by cuts to the bottom of the image I mean it's literally touching the edge of where the slice is.
 
Why are you using 2 images instead of one? :confused:

HTML:

As I said, I did it very quickly - and I am still learning the html side of design, So I accept that there may be some problems here and there, that's why I've asked for some help.

Thanks for spotting the tag thing, don't know why I did that - just one of those things that happened late at night after work lol

No wait, just figured it out... One sec...

edit: just fixed it. i hope - tell me if it isn't :)
