IE Windows only problem, help!

Hi all

as usual IE6 is not doing what it should:

if you look at
http://barksolutions.com/draft-site/services.php

in IE Windows, the Title image (Bark Solutions in silver) is BEHIND the
silver paw.
It should be NEXT to it, on the right.

The Paw is in a Layer, so to move the Title image to the right, at first
I simply used: vspace="110"
and it worked in ALL browsers except IE Windows, so instead, I styled
the image as:
<img src="myimage.jpg" style="margin-left:110px">
and THIS, also works in ALL browsers except IE Windows!

So what else can I do to make this evil browser do what I want?

Please help

(I meant 'hspace' not 'vspace', to push the image 110 pixels from the
left...)

Put the logo type in its own <div> and give the <div> margin-left: 110px;

<div id="barkLogoType" style="margin-left: 110px; padding-top: 12px;"><a
href="http://barksolutions.com/draft-site/index.html?PHPSESSID=fa3eb721b496f78482d8c0f8ea8c9438"><img
src="title-nav.png" width="287" height="42" border="0"></a></div>

tnank you very much for your suggestion
I will try it, see if it works, by luck...
however is there any REASON why it would work - or not - do you know WHY
or HOW ie windows won't understand about CSS,
becaue I ALREADY used a valid CSS style for my case, so WHY do I need to
create another div just for that style?.....
Thank you for any meaningful/technical explenation.

I don't think there is any logic when it comes to css, or perhaps the
way browsers display css to be more precise.

You need to build up a good knowledge base of 'trouble shooting' options
when something that ought to work doesnt. Thats the only way you will
keep your sanity.

I have no explanation in some senarios. Im as baffled as anyone...I just
have solutions to most issues gained through a lot of trial and error.
