problem with alignment from menu text

Hi all,

I'm stuggling a bit with my menu structures.
If you visit the site mass-snipers.com you will see what I mean I hope.
Under the option Home, {MASS} Zone etc.

When you look in the MAIN MENU block on the left you see the options with a small icon infront. What I want is that the text is aligned properly to the left instead of centered as it is now.

The weird thing is when I check with IE (latest version) it's messed up. If I open the page and look with firefox then the menu options are properly aligned.

I've searched the forums here but couldn't find any proper solution. I've searched and played a bit with the settings in the block_sommaire.php file but no luck.

Hope someone can help me out here. tnx in advance.

looks like in firefox it's puts the whole line of text on one line. Like for example the display of the text Private Messages under the HOME Menu.

In internet explorer that is put on two lines .. so:

Private
Messages

but in firefox just on one line:

Private Message

and that's how it makes it look better there I think.

Does anybody have an idea why in internet explorer it's broken in two lines instead of 1? And most of all how I can fix that?

tnx alot

ahhh solved my own problem. But for the future people with this problem:

go into your theme folder and locate the file blocks.html

in my case I had to replace the this code:

<TD
background="themes/midnight/images/blocks_02.gif" width=170 height=66 ALT="">
<p align="center"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><font class="content">$content</font></td>

for this:

<TD
background="themes/midnight/images/blocks_02.gif" width=170 height=66 ALT="">
<p align="left"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><font class="content">$content</font></td>

weird that firefox doesn't have the issue, but anyway it's fixed.

The paragraph align attribute is deprecated so FF ignored it.
IE decided to use it because it doesn't care.
