    Hello everyone! This is my first website ever to be hosted and I designed everything and tested it on firefox. After putting it on the web and trying to see it with IE every thing is indented to the left about 5 spaces...what can I do to fix this?

    Also if you are viewing this in a browser other than firefox (or firefox to just for kicks) can you look at my site and tell me how it looks

    All comments are welcome! Thanks in advance

    www.u-bib.com

    ps: the home page is not very welcoming right now haha the site is for students to generate citations for their sources they use in essays and such

    I see what you mean, to me me it looks like a simple fix. I would have to see your code.

    You will never get IE to attempt to act like other more modern browsers without a proper doctype. Add this to your first line:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    Then validate your html and css for those lists of errors.
