    I'm working on revamping the skin for my site to better accomodate AS.  I figured I would add the message center skin object right below my login links..  I have done so using the following code:

    <br>
    <div id="NotifyBox"><br>
      <active:messagecenter id="ctlMsgCenter" runat="server"><br>
         <displaytemplate><br>
             <a href='[AS<img src='http://www.activemodules.com/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/activemodules/emoticons/tongue.gif' align="absmiddle"  border="0" />M:LINK]' Class="BreadCrumb">Inbox: ([INBOXCOUNT])</a><br>
             &nbsp;|&nbsp;<br>
             <a href='[AS<img src='http://www.activemodules.com/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/activemodules/emoticons/tongue.gif' align="absmiddle"  border="0" />M:NOTIFICATIONS]' Class="BreadCrumb">Alerts: ([NOTIFYCOUNT])</a><br>
          </displaytemplate><br>
       </active:messagecenter><br>
    </div><br>
    


    In firefox it's perfect..  It looks great..  IE, well, that's another story..  The links end up below the div they're put into..  See attached screen shot..  If I watch very closely as the page loads, I can see that the links start out where they are supposed to be, then jumps down below.

    In looking at the source, it appears that the skin object loads a javascript in place of the active:messagecenter tag.  It looks like IE is interpreting that as a carriage return and then bumps the other text down..

    Any ideas as to why this is happening?  Any way I can compensate for it?
