Header whitespace in IE 5x

Hi

I've followed all of the whitespace threads i found over the last few months but I still cant get rid of the whitespace that shows only in IE 5x.

The whitespace is located between the ezpages bar and the logo (i have used an image for the ezpages bar that actually forms part of the logo).

My site can be found at http://www.imagocollections.com.au

Any help really appreciated

Craig

Re: Header whitespace in IE 5x

IE 5 ?!

Do you really need to worry about IE5?

Re: Header whitespace in IE 5x

I've read and been advised about it and apparently there are plenty of people still using it. Crazy I know...

Re: Header whitespace in IE 5x

According to the W3 Schools, the number was less than 1/2 of 1% in June 2008. So unless you are having a major influx of complaints, I wouldn't even try since fixing for one IE tends to break the others.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

World wide ff is about 33%, but IE 5 and 6 are dead with ie6 taking up about 10% of the market share. IE5 doesnt even register anymore on most statistics and IE6 is artificially high due to business applications that depend on it. If anything worry about ie8, ie7, and firefox. Look out for chrome and safari as it has been getting a bit of press and they are the basis for most smart phones.
