Um...

I THINK I LOVE YOU!

Yes, that did the trick.

And, like, DUH. I've been fixated on Firebug, so it would be about time for me to load up IE Developer Toolbar. I feel so stupid. :P

I indeed have that vertical-align property set in a "reset" css file...rethinking the wisdom of that at the moment...

GREATLY GREATLY GREATLY appreciate your help! Thanks a billion for pointing me in the right direction. You made my day!
