The link to the page is: [http://new.cmykpromotions.com/iebug.html](http://new.cmykpromotions.com/iebug.html) the problem is that viewing the page in IE text saying “Content goes here” will start just after the image which is in left table cell. The image is: [http://new.cmykpromotions.com/media/images/gap2.jpg](http://new.cmykpromotions.com/media/images/gap2.jpg) Tried everything that could come up with, nothing helped. The page is viewed alright in Firefox and Opera.

I’d throw in a comment condition, before the \<td\>, that tells the page to render a valign to top(tr). The tr would be affected by it.

> 

\<!–[if IE]\>  
\<tr valign=‘top’\>  
\<![endif]–\>  
\<!–[if !IE]\>  
\<tr\>  
\<![endif]–\>

The first for IE, and the second not for IE.

EDIT  
Nevermind. You did that, but not in the \<tr\>. Needs to go there.
