OK, I can see the bigger gap (I think I better change the res on
my winbox screen!) now, sorry. New arrangement and the screen is
further (than my Mac screens) away from me...)
In spite of a proper doctype and all. All I can say is that IE
does some strange things with padding and margins that are not as
laid down in the recommended rules at W3C. Someone may have a
more detailed general explanation that shows a consistent rule
for IE? I know this though, it is easy enough to be rid of by
making a rule that IE only can see, to make IE6 and 7 add an
extra 10px at the top where you want by adding 10px top margin
*just* to the first of your three contained divs. You can do this
via a conditional that only IE (6 and 7) can see.
If it was just IE 6, this would do it I think:
* html .firstContainer {margin-top: 30px;} at the end of your css
and in the html for the first conatiner:
<div class="container firstContainer">
