This works fine in FF and Chrome. It should be two columns one with text and one with an Icon and a small amount of text. How can I make this work in IE? I tried the div clear=both thing and that isn't doing anything.
Also upvotes for anyone who can give me some tips on how to write pages and use styles that work across FF, Chrome and IE >= 7.
First I'd skipped all
and replace with
as they don't work in IE6.
Secondly, I'd use
And additionaly, I would definately skip
<div align="center">...</div>
, as it is deprecated. Instead I would rearrange div.content toThe trick to center is to (using position:relative or position:absolute) set the left point to half of the width, and then move the margin back to half of the element width (where the 'element' is the element you want to center).
could be because your not defining a doctype and IE is viewing your page in Quirksmode as appose to Standards mode (or almost Standard).

I've checked your site in standards mode and in IE7 the 2 column behave as they should (like in FF & Chrome)
modified css

Here's a skeleton to consider using:
combined with:
and so on.
