Thanks,

Here is some code to munch on. Am I using the right doctype?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h2>Some Heading</h2>
<p>Some text...</p>
<h2>Color-Coded Ledger Look-Up</h2>
<p><a href="images/ledgerLookupBig.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="images/ledgerLookup.jpg" width="265" height="173" border="0" align="right" class="content" alt="Alt Test"></a>DSome text...</p>

I don't see any problem. On my Windows 2000 machine, Firefox 0.9.3 and IE 6.0 are rendering the HTML code in the same manner.

It might not be anything to do with your problem, but you are definitely not using the right doctype. The above is a mix between Transitional and Strict.
The correct doctypes are:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">For HTML 4.01 Strict, and:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">For HTML 4.01 Transitional.
If you're not sure which one you are supposed to use, then choose the second one!
