Text not in line, any idea's?

[Samuël van Laere]

Hiya folks,

Could some kind soul explain why IE (yes its allways that browser) is
screwing up the text inside the div?
As you might notice not all of the text is in a straight line:

Any thoughts?
Does it have to do with that box bug?

Thanks in advance.

It's called the 3 pixel bug or 3 pixel text jog.
Not too difficult to work around:

He means the vertical line-up of the horizontal lines, which,
indeed are all pretty straight

FFS let me just get my microscope

my next suggestion was an inner ear infection making everything appear a
bit lopsided.

The main reason is that you are using IE, which is NOT required.

Very original answer. However, since the overwhelming majority of his
visitors will be using IE, it was pretty useless for anything other
than IE bashing.

But I was very impressed with your originality and your skill working
the bashing into the thread.

Tell me about it, it works in Opera and Mozilla.
IE is one big bug if you ask me, but according to M$ they are not bugs but
features..

when dribble is coming out the side of your mouth it usually indicates
that you're laying on the floor, not leaning against a wall.
