My H2 content block doesnt line up in IE

Hi Guys, I have a simple content block that displays as a at the top of a page. In Ffox it lines up on the left, in IE it seems to be forced to the right. Any ideas, Ive put text-align:left all over the style sheet with no effect on IE. I tried a div around the content.
{content block="titleoption" oneline="true"}
----------------------------------------
Any ideas would be welcome, thanks.

Not w/o a link, you show just the html and no css or anything...

It looks like it has more than CSS problems this morning. Drop a note when the site is back up and we can take a look. I can't tell from just the CSS you posted why there is an issue, I need to see where the H2 is placed in the DOM.
Also, what version of IE has this problem?

Hi folks Im sorry - the host is driving me insane. They could not host cmsms on our usual server, so we had to install on a test server - now when we switch to go live and redirect - all hell broke loose. Its moved to the new server (by the host) but no stylesheet and I cant get to admin till tomorrow when they back at work. I can ftp etc but nothing else.
I have installed cmsms on servers elsewhere no problems - why do swedish hosts have this hassle??
Anyway - little I can do, it seems that the redirects have disturbed something, I will try reloading the sytlesheets. But I cant get at admin.
Re the H2 problem - its in IE7, I also note that TinyMCE also shows all content as centered - maybe that is a hint - maybe some layout issue I just cannot grasp - its fine in FFox. Hope its up tomorrow. At present, only the old site is showing pending DNS redirect refresh etc.....Sorry.
Regards

My starting point before digging any deeper into the CSS would be to fix some errors in the markup. For example, you have unclosed tags:
<div id="nav"
Use the W3 validator to fix the errors, then proceed with the CSS:
http://validator.w3.org

Thanks Deak, I have closed that Div, it did not change the IE layout. I will also check markup as suggested.

Humour me and try dropping a clear in here:
You are here: Meetings
Meetings and Conferences with Flair
I've run it through Litmus (still waiting on a few tests) and it
looks like the problem is all IE version from 5.0 onwards.

Hi Deak, I grovel at your feet, that solved the issue. Thank you so much for your time and digging into the issue - hero status.
The H2 now lines up at the left margin. I seem to have some additional space above the H2 (between the breadcrumbs & H2), but , I can live with that if there is no quick solution - however that would be the icing on the cake. Ultimately, I may do away with the contentblock div (that seems to be the culprit) but its an easy fix just now.
Regards

Glad that helped.
To fix the space, I make a class and pseudo class for my clears:
.clear
{
clear: both;
}
.clear:after
{
content: ".";
height: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
clear: both;
}
The pseudo class :after will clean up for you.

Hi Deak, thanks, I will add that into the stylesheet, great suggestion.
Ive just noticed that I have a large white space between the sidebar and content, do you think that this is a similar thing as I dont seem to be able to get the content over to the left. I know that the div is float:right but even if I adjust the div width, nothing seems to change. Odd.
Thanks for all the help.

Sry for OT:
It depends on what hosts you are using. I've never got any problem with Loopia or Oderland and I think their support are awesome.

You still have validation issues...
And do yourself a favor and use {* smarty comment *}, which won't show in rendered page, to comment out stuff not IE has a tendency to put space where these are...

Hi DrCSS, thanks for that suggestion. My error, I am not so familiar with Smarty - and yes I must read the doc's more diligently.
Its likely that that will solve my issue. Thanks & regards
