Topic: Tired of IE bugs - help me with this one please

Hi everybody,

Normally, this page of my site looks Ok on firefox, safari, chrome, etc.:


http://www.sdaconsultores.com/quienesso … agente.php


but, on IE8 there is a big white space between the first <p> and the second one.

This is the code of the div:

<div class="parrafogrande">
      <p><img src="../imagenes/fotos/fotojohan.jpg" alt="Johan Stuve" width="180" height="180" /><span class="grueso2">Johan Stüve Bello </span><br />
        <a href="mailto:jstuve@sdaconsultores.com">jstuve@sdaconsultores.com</a><br />
        Ingeniería Civil, Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, Caracas, Venezuela.</p>
      <p> Experiencia profesional en empresas de construcción, donde se desarrolló en diversas áreas técnicas y gerenciales. Fue gerente de proyectos de una empresa de consultoría gerencial por más de año y medio, donde manejó procesos de planificación y control de proyectos, manejo efectivo de la información y desarrollo de equipos de trabajo entre otros. Trabajó durante dos años como profesor de la Franja de Habilidades Gerenciales del MBA de la Universidad del Externado de Colombia.</p>
      <p> Actualmente preside  SDA Consultores y se desempeña como socio de negocios, y consultor en las áreas de Cultura de Interacción y Desarrollo Humano y Profesional. </p>
      </div>

Does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Eduardo

At this point, there is very little point doing testing in IE8 -- the browser hasn't been finalized yet and still has bugs, so it may change in the final version. I'd suggest sticking with IE6/IE7, and then go back and optimize if necessary for IE8 once it is officially released.

I agree. IE8 ruins half the things I work on. I pay it no mind...

If you think that viewers may be using IE8 beta 2 and seeing something you don't want them to see, add this immediately after the <head> section tag:-

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

for XHTML (without the closing / before > if HTML) which makes IE8 work as IE7. It must be immediately after the <head> tag, not lower down the head section.

There are thousands of problems with IE8 at present and I don't want viewers of my sites to use it. It doesn't display some drop down menus correctly and even stops displaying half way down a page sometimes until you refresh. It also doesn't make anchors work if the anchor code is empty. The Opacity attribute isn't supported; only the IE filter.

Thanks for your answer.
I kind of solved the problem. The main idea was to have some text and (3 paragraphs) a picture floated to the right, so at first, I put the <p> tags and the <img> tag, then I floated the <img> to the right. It worked perfectly on Firefox, etc., but it wasn't working on IE8. So, I finally decided to wrap both tags with two divs, one for the text, one for the image, and floated them.
Problem solved:
