Problem with The Cooking Place Project

jcole16 · May 2nd, 2005, 06:08 PM

I am working on The Cooking Place project in the Beginning Dreamweaver MX 2004 book. I have completed the steps up to page 73. When I view the website in Netscape everything looks fine. When I look at it in Internet Explore thing are not right. Between the topleft2.gif and the topleft3.gif I get a red line that extends from left to right through the column and into the column next to it that has the page.gif. In this column the line turns white and creates a gap between the page.gif and topleft2.gif. Any idea why this is happening? I've also included my source code below.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi there,

Unfortunately, I don't have the images for the Cooking Place right here under a Web server, so I can't really check.
Can you link to an online example page where we can look at?

If not, I'll put the images under my local web root and check the layout, but that might take a while (way too busy here... :-( )
