Banner width and Firefox problem

    hi,
    The banner show in my site looks OK in IE 6, but when viewed in Firefox things start to go wrong.

    The banner is fine in IE6 when viewed on my PC with 17´monitor but when viewed on a laptop (15´inch) and a monitor with 19 inch it only stretches 75% across.

    I have tried to play around with width size and other things but to no avail.

    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    link to site is www.webfactory365.com


    Thanks

    Richard

    Can you better explain what the banner should be doing? Are you trying to make it span the entire screen?

    Firstly, your site takes an incredible long amount of time to load. Secondly, putting in the header image is distorting your entire site.

    You have a 17-foot long screen??? Wow. 17'! : )

    That td is a set width. Taking my browser window and making it smaller moves the td with the Javajunk further to the left. You can never make something of a set width always span across different browser-window sizes, so you'd want to instead set it in the middle. Usually that's margin:0 auto but someone had to make it hard and set it in a table.

    However, the code is so bad I can't make heads or tails, except that parts of your <head> have been repeated twice, and if everything looks good in IE6, then it will never look good for other browsers because that <?XML thingie at the very top of your code is setting IE6 into "Quirks Mode" where it renders everything in strange illogical ways. There can be nothing, not even a space or a hit of the return/enter key, before the <DOCTYPE... part.

    If you paid one red cent for this template, they seriously screwed you over. Hard. Changing any one little thing in it will be difficult. And it's hard to work with multiple css pages like this. One internal <style> plus other stuff...
