    Did you render a CSS using frontpage? There are still many inconsistencies between both browsers when it comes to displaying certain styles. It is very very annoying in some cases but can be fixed by some minor tweaks. The best way is to create two style sheets one for IE and one for Firefox.

    URL is boredgames.co.uk if you look in firefox it has some major problems especially with a category being in the wrong place.

    First off, you should make your code valid.

    You have 157 errors:

    You should abandon Frontpage and use some tool that is consistent with standards.

    This is probably the reason, check it and it should work :)

    Many Thanks,

    Because IE is the devil! ;)

    I always end of doing browser testing to fix little bugs. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera often render the content the same way (not always!).

    You may need some hacks to make it look proper in IE - this will require editing the code.

    Hi, use Dreamweaver instead of Frontpage.
