Niidz Halp with Roolloverz Options

[emberfly]

I made a layout recently, and in this layout I experimented with rollovers (first time trying them).

They work fine in Firefox in all resolutions, but Internet explorer fcks them up.

Here is the preview

Here are the codes:

You're gonna have to blame Xanga for this one. Without a doctype, browsers go into quirks mode. Quirks mode makes browsers use their standardization settings (which in IE's case, are horrendous). The links look misaligned on hover because IE is giving them a minimum height of 14 pixels.

If you were able to, simply adding <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> to the top of the document would fix all of your problems. But since it's Xanga and you can't, I'd suggest trying a different method of using hover links, probably one that involves making all of the links the same height (and at least 14 pixels high).
