Spacing issues in IE7

Question

Working on a pretty basic template. I started with a
Dreamweaver built-in, then modified it slightly to fit my uses. As
you'll see in IE7 with this URL
http://webriggingsupply.com/Templates/wrs-template-08.dwt
The "Looking for something" in the left yellow bar is lower
than the Main Content to the right. In Safari on Mac, it's lined up
perfectly.
So, my questions:
1. Does IE7 not use the "clip" part of CSS?
2. I have all margins and padding set to 0 on tops of the
DIVS. Does IE not recognize them?
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You know that this is a template file, right? You know that
it has no
function on the server, right? And you know that those of us
browsing to
your link will only see the page in IE, right?
Your code is very sloppy. For example -
<ul id="p7PMnav"><form id="form1" name="form1"
method="post" action="">
<label></label><img
src="../assets/navgraphics/looking.gif"
alt="Looking" width="144" height="20" />
<label><br />
<input name="search" type="text" id="search" size="16"
/>
</label>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Go"
/>
</label>
</form>
<li>
You have a form immediately inside a <ul>. And you have
multiple empty
<label> tags. And you have a <label> around the
submit button. And what
are you expecting this clip to do for you?
clip: rect(15px,auto,auto,auto);
Anyhow, it's likely that what you are seeing is an unmanaged
top margin on
the <form> tag combined with an unmanaged top/bottom
margin on the <ul> tag.
