I am not sure though, IE is sometimes a quandary with it's screw ups. Try this as an alternate, that's what I had to do on a project: ================== line-height: 999px; /* Set it higher than your image height */ overflow: hidden; /* Hide the text */ font-size: 0; /* FF2 doesn’t like the above */ ================== @R I had the same problem on a project, I think it was because of other things being absolutely/or relatively positioned on the page before the button.

When I had that problem I used Chris Mahon's method above and it fixed it.
