thank you for your reply, Steve.

I think i will play with the height a bit more after turning off overflow:hidden. because if i leave it on, it will shrink, but the image will stay put and not fix itself. and the wierd thing was, when i specified height without overflow, the div would basically not even obey. >.<


and i'm not understanding your second tip. if you mean, make sure there isn't transparent space in my gif, then yes. i'm sure there is no transparent space in my gif creating that space. i don't understand how adding or taking away the bg of the gif would help. i just know that i put one there because the text will look ugly if i try to make a transparent gif because the text is so small and gif's can't do alpha layers. so i kinda need it. once the buttons are in position, you won't be able to tell the diffrence. but i can't put them in position yet because the positions between IE and FF don't match.

so i'm trying to get IE to match FF and i can't figure out why it won't.

i was wondering what kind of doctype vbulletin uses. maybe some custom one. cause i know a doctype can change the way certain css/html behaves. hmm...







EDIT!!::

I have an update. (didn't want to make a double post)

I solved the problem! here's what i did. after testing a LOT of diffrent possible solutions, I then looked up what i can do to the image itself. since nothing i do to the div was working at all. and after a couple attempts at margin and positioning, the winner ended up being this one.

<img src="images/style/brown/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" style="vertical-align:top;" />

it should be in bold. i never though i could do style inside an image itself!! i'm glad i can. otherwise, i'd never have solved this. ;_;


i hope this helps other people too.


check it out. i'm so happy i'm finally done with this.


this is the control in the postbit. looks like a crucifix nail to show what our Lord Jesus went through to save us all. ;_;

nail was done by my friend, Omega. (owner of the site). I just sliced it and coded it into the vb.
