    Need help with Alignment problem for two column layout

    Hello,
    I have a two column layout with a class that puts a gray box around text pertaining the the images on its left. For some reason, I cannot create a space between the two boxes so the gray boxes align with the middle of the image. I tried using a transparent gif separated by a <br/> , but that didn't work.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Need help with Alignment problem for two column layout

    Sorry about that. Try this:
    http://kittelbergerdesign.com/JBarber/testpage2.html
    Here is the css:
    http://kittelbergerdesign.com/JBarber/testpage2.css

    I've been playing around with this since I first posted and now my problem is in IE. My second column contains text that I put in a div class. Instead of lining up to the right of the corresponding house, it is aligning after the houses end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
