Troubles making simple mods to the fDawn template, newbie :)

Hi everyone,

I just made a few simple modifications to our blog which look perfect in every browser except for IE. I’m hoping someone here can help me with tracking down the answer I need to get it looking perfect everywhere. I’m not a CSS expert, so I realize that what I did is probably not the most ideal way to approach things. Any alternative method, with a breif explanation will be helpful as I am learning…

I put an image in the sidebar.php, at the very top, which I would hope inserts it first thing, before the search box, like this:

<img src=”https://www.myserver.com/sidebar-logo.gif&#8221; width=”270″ height=”120″ border=”0″ align=”right”/>
<br> <br>

It looked fine in all the other browsers last night, but when I checked it on IE this morning, it was totally collapsed looking (the search box was still at the top and my logo was right beneath it, hence adding the break tags)…

Now it looks fine in IE, UNTIL I roll over any kind of link, then for some reason collapses again.

Problem number 2 is with the header.php, I added another (linked) image to our parent site, which should be directly above the main image – I placed it in the header.php, directly after the <!– The header begins –>

<img src=”https://www.myserver.com/main_logo.gif&#8221; width=”819″ height=”63″ border=”0″ />

The problem with this image is, again it looks great on every other browser except IE, which puts some strange dotted line below it, which (when rolled over, since it’s a link) also causes my sidebar to collapse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m sure I’m implementing these changes wrong. Thanks!
