Hello, I'm new to CSS.. I made my design in Photoshop.. Sliced it.. and then set the design through the CSS.. I set the complete design and it looks great in IE but when I see it in Firefox it is completely out of order.. Can anyone please guide me what is the problem? I can give you my CSS if you require.. Have you ever seen this kind of problem before.. What am I doing worng? I will really appreciate your help in this regard. Cheers!
It is terribly impolite to post to multiple forums at the same time. You already have four people trying to help you in two other forums. Should someone work on the problem in this forum, also, how many efforts will be duplicated? How much of someone's valuable time wasted? cheers, gary
I think the supposed impoliteness of cross-posting is starting to go a little too far. It is now wrong to post the same question to completely different Web sites? I would do the same. You may not know which forum will be no help, which forum will have the answer immediately, which forum has lots of intelligent people, or which forum has lots of ignorant people. When I have a question I post it to various forums. Most of those don't get even a single reply. If I posted the question to one forum at a time it would be days before I get a response. And even if you get two answers from two forums, often those answers will be different. Posting the same question in multiple places is a good way to get a second opinion. If all forums gave the same answer in the same period of time then, yes, it would be a waste to post in multiple places. But that's not how it is.
I'm going to have to sit on the fence a bit here. I started a message to help mmahad, then went to another forum for a reference page, then another forum for more references. I thought he was getting "the correct" help and s/he was responding - on one forum there were 10 entries in about 5 hours - not too bad considering the responders are spread around several different time zones and it's a weekend (in most countries). I'm still willing to try to help if mmahad will set out which advice he has already been given causes him/her problems. Such as understanding the articles about selecting a doctype, how to put one into the page and how to code to that doctype. Also potential margin/padding problems, image slicing problems etc. I do feel, however, that it is important to those who want to help you, mmahad, to provide all the code (css and (x)html). As there is quite a bit of image slicing going on, it would also help to provide a live link (or at least all the images) to determine the extent of the ill-fitting stuff - in a cross-browser kinda way.
I used to have a problem with my site being viewed in Firefox as well. I've since found a nifty free little Firefox plugin, users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla, that validates HTML and corrects it in a screen. This is handy for me because I can actually see the code that corrects the error(s) I made. Hope I didn't confuse you. But the tool has worked wonders for me
@FeelLikeANut: I suppose it is my age and 'good old days syndrome'. You know, things aren't like they were in the good old days. Of course they never were, either. The thing is, I kinda expect a person to become familiar with a forum or list before posting to it. That implies they'll have some idea of where a particular question might be best answered. Like many who haunt the forums and lists, I visit several, and attempt to answer whenever 1) the OP isn't getting a response, 2) the question is particularly interesting or 3) it's one I can answer quickly without too much study. My time is limited, though. Imagine how vexing it is to study the source, figure out what the poster really means (all too often, eh?) and develop an answer, often with a patch, a demo or a test case, and then go to another forum to find the same question being worked on by someone else, and then again in another forum. No, it is not unreasonable to expect the poster to do a little homework, not just on his problem, but where to go with it, too. It's not like anybody's getting paid to help, so it's not exactly a good idea to piss them off. If nothing else, think of it as just being courteous. cheers, gary
