It works fine on Mozilla but not in IE. Doe anyone have any idea why?

cheers :)Not unless we can see the HTML :DHi

the link is contact (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.floripaimages.com/contact_test.htm">http://www.floripaimages.com/contact_test.htm</a><!-- m -->)

cheersThe first thing to do is validate your HTML (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.floripaimages.com/contact_test.htm">http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1 ... t_test.htm</a><!-- m -->). Once you've got the errors sorted out then start looking at browser bugs.

1) HTML tags must be opened and closed in order.

<p><strong></p></strong> -- NOT CORRECT

<p><strong></strong></p> -- Correct

2) LABEL tags are inline elements and may not contain block elements. You've got a couple instances of LABEL tags containing P tags, which are block elements.

3) Open the FORM before writing the FORM elements. NS4 will not display form elements outside of a form.

4) FIELDSETs go inside forms.

I Download ed a copy of that page and didn't have to alter the CSS at all to get it to work in IE-Win. All I had to do was fix the syntax errors in the HTML. The code is below:
