Hello,

I have designed a template to list items on ebay and I have some compatibility issues with internet explorer (8 in this case..i assume other version as well).

Here is a beta test of the item I've put up for sale with my new template:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300451388766

The part of the page that is mine is this: (self hosted)

www.drifo.com/ebay/zpxr/XLR_Analog.html

If you open it with firefox, everything works perfectly with the right proportions, however in internet explorer there are a few anomalies.

And even more, it seems from one COMPUTER to another on the same version of explorer, we encounter different bugs...

On my computer for example when i open a fresh version of explorer, it all loads up with the right margins but the orange icon in the top right search is missing and the button in the bottom bigger search is also missing.

the margins between the pictures in the 2 bottom boxes (payment and policies) are also different than firefox.

Where things realy start to go wrong is when i hit F5 and do a refresh...I get alot of marging errors for different sections...i cleared my cache to try and avoid this problem but it happens even on some other computers.

I'm at a crossroad where im wondering if I have to do different CSS files for explorer and firefox or if I can still salvage this by doing a "quick fix"

Any input would be appreciated!! (i wish explorer would die already)

Oh just for the sake of explaining it a bit more thoroughly: the website itself when self hosted appears fine in both browsers, its in the confines of the ebay site that it acts weird in explorer. Could be due to their own css code which frankly i didnt look at much since its 100's of pages...

I was gonna post screenshots / localy hosted site, but it appears as a new user I cannot do this here :(

here is a screen from my explorer on the first time load:

and here is how it looks after 1 or multiple refresh:
