    I seem to have some ghost products showing up in IE. Attached is a chrome screenshot and an IE screenshot side by side.

    Here is my Ditto Call:
    <ul class="tumme">        
[!Ditto?parents=`76` &tagMode=`onlyAllTags` &tagData=`cat,brand` &tags=`[*cat*]` &tagDelimiter=`,` &display=`12` &sortBy=`menuindex ASC` &noResults=`noresults` &extenders=`request,summary` &tpl=`gear` &paginate=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1`!]
        </ul><br clear="all">



    Any ideas??

        They have to be coming from somewhere. Have you tried validating the page? Clearing the site cache (from the Manager) and the browser cache?

          &sortBy=`menuindex ASC` should read &orderBy=`menuindex ASC`, but that’s probably nothing to do with your problem. Managed to pick the URL out of your screenshot and tried it in IE8 (OK) and IE8 "compatibility mode" (not OK). I suggest you take a close look at your HTML (e.g. the two </html> closing tags) with the help of the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/). Incorrect HTML is going to be handled differently by different browsers.

            Honestly, this sites code is a bit of a mess so good thinking!

            I will update once we correct some Validation errors.

            Thank you all for the ideas.

              Cleared the cache on browser and manager
              Removed some of the more obvious bad HTML
              I did however see that this is now happening on other pages as well which I cannot find a similarity. My SKI>Connelly (brand) page is now creating the gaps.

              When sorted differently.. If I show only that brand (sorts by tags) i get a space too. This next screenshot is if I only show by Brand.

              BUT if I sort by price it closes the gaps...

                Not that it will really matter,

                I solved it with swapping out my LI tpl chunk from tables to DIV’s

                  I know that IE will do odd things with <li> tags if there is any whitespace at all in the HTML code between the elements; to avoid spaces you have to have the list’s HTML code all on one line, no linebreaks between the elements.
