In FF my text displays perfectly (no surprises there then!) but on IE the text begins one sentance lower than what I’ve asked for (ahem :diss: )

I’ve had the same issue before but with an image that didn’t want to sit where it was meant to. Again the only difference being a sentance sized gap. If I add a \<br/\> all that does it align it perfectly in IE, but then on other browsers it goes to hell.

Anybody heard of this before? I’m sure it must be a simple, silly fix…
