****The image was too wide and IE was dropping it down for some reason. All's well that ends well!*****
I'm building a site for a client using CMS 1.0.2 "Maui". I've basically been using the included template "Left sidebar + 1 column" and making changes as I need them.
Building the site on a Mac and testing on Firefox everything is great. When I jump over to test on IE 7 (on PC of course) the image on the homepage starts about 4 inches below where it's suppossed to. I've been tweaking the CSS for 2 days and thought I fixed it once, but alas, that's not so.
The work in progress can be viewed here: http://www.csapostfalls.com/site/
Here's the CSS I've been working with:
/*****************
browsers interpret margin and padding a little differently,
we'll remove all default padding and margins and
set them later on
******************/
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
/*
Set initial font styles
*/
body {
text-align: left;

The weird part to me is that the layout (image above text) is basically the same on the Directions page but that renders fine in IE 7. Also, I got the image to layout right in "quirks" mode but that doesn't really help anybody.
Here's the HTML that I believe is where it's happening:
Home
CSA of Post Falls, known locally as “Cardiovascular Services of Post Falls”, is dedicated to serving our patients with
compassion and with the highest quality of care using cutting-edge technology.
Thanks for any help anyone can give, I think CMS made simple is a very powerful system and I've enjoyed using it except for this silly problem (which is more Microsoft's fault that the CMS).
Thanks!
