Here is a header that I plan to use on the content pages on my site: http://daviddagostino.com/camaro/html/flashheader.html It looks as intended in IE, but there are gaps between the tables when viewed with Firefox. Anyone know how to make it look right in FF? Many thanks.
Welcome to Digital Point Forums! I dont know what your talking about I just checked it in IE and FF and there are both the same. But you should not use tables for layout really anyways. Also your missing half your doctype and are using transitional when new sites should really be made with the strick doctype.
John, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I tried to fix the links, but got caught up in the "you can't post links yet" stuff (yet somehow I posted the links the first time). Anyway........ Yes, it looks the same when viewed as a standalone web page. However, as soon as I drop the same code into a VB header then difference is visible, as seen in this "no link link": nastyz28.com/cmps_index.php?page=1970camaro Thanks again. If I knew half as much about computers as I did about these cars.........oh well.
Ah right, I am not sure why your having trouble though I dont use tables for layout so am missing the skills in making table layout work. But I can say I think I have found a record for validation errors. Validation Results for transitional doctype Thats with a traditional doctype which should not be used really they are for old sites that have not had chance to update there coding, new sites should be using the strict doctype really.

John, Thanks again. FWIW, I did not code the site, rather I inherited it from the founder of the site. It is 98% handcoded circa 1998 - 2002 or so. To say there is a ton of content is to understate the case considerably. I am familar with the code validator and have used it before. It is amazing that something with that many errors works at all.
It show just how good quirks mode works really to be able to guess what you mean for that many errors. But you will end up with things looking diffrent in diffrent browsers as you have found. That explains it though if the coding is from that far back, time for a redesign I am thinking or at least a recoding anyways.
