    I have an issue with IE7. I have a paragraph that has a quote <q> inline, and an image floated left of the paragraph. IE7 cuts off the image (jpg) at the line where the quote starts.
    I've tested in FF 2.0 and IE6 and Opera 9 it seems to be only in IE7. Any ideas on a fix for this?

    If someone could test on a Mac for me would be appreciated also. Mine is broken and may not be worth fixing.

    It looks fine on a Mac in Firefox 2.0.0.11, Opera 9 and Safari 3.0.4.
    The image is intact in IE5.2 for Mac, but of course the rest of the page is all over the place, but then who in their right mind would use IE on a Mac...
    Apparently IE7 cannot display generated content using the q tag, see this

    Maybe you can find a work around using a p tag and putting your quote in italics instead of a q tag?
    Hope this helps

    very weird - works fine when 'font-style: italic;' is removed from 'blockquote, q' in styling.css

    Thanks for the info.
    I didn't even think to try removing the italics. I guess that's the fix for now.

    Thanks again,
