ATA 3.5.1 - XP sp3 - IE8

I seem to be having a problem with my formatting under Style Posts and Pages. The styling I am now using for headline box shows well in Chrome, but in IE8 the first post headline is styled appropriately but the following headlines are not.

padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
border: solid 1px #373D30;
background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa351/images/sidebarbg04.jpg) repeat top left;

Try adding height: 20px to the CSS

nope, pushed the title down.

Where are you putting the code?

Under style posts and pages in Headline box.

Did you use the same setting for all the 'headline' options
please attach an export of your settings

Here is settings file.

Looks right in Chrome, Firefox, but that !#*@ IE...

JD? Should I use the same settings for all headline options?

I might have fixed it but not sure how... I did add the height: 17px to the box... but also been changing things around...

this is caused by the line

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

that is in the generated code. There is an option at ATO->Style & configure LAYOUT->IE Document Type in newer versions that let you shut that off.

Thanks, have it working for now. I am just to busy to think about an upgrade knowing the problems that can arise. Appreciate your help.
