    Hi,
    I am creating a website for a customer, the site to do is very simple and almost finished, the only problem I have. is that the site shows differently on IE than Firefox
    This is the site
    http://roma-radioguide.info/
    Code (markup):
    I have tried to search the web for clues but I am pretty ignorant when it cames to HTML
    Could you please help me or pointing me out somewhere to try and fix this?
    Thank you very much.

    Internet Explorer is the worst browser on the planet. Inept at best, it's 13 years behind all others in modern standards and practices. Having problems with IE is expected and the norm. Always, always use any other browser as your reference for how things should work.

    Yeah you right! the problem is that this site is for a customer though and he lives in Italy and IE is by far the most used app for the web there.
    I totally agree with what you say about IE it is crap and all but unfortunally customers won't understand that...

    Which version of IE needs to be supported, and which versions does it break in?

    IE user base is so fragmented, I like to think of each version as a separate competing browser.

    Check the line:
    <input type="submit" value=" Richiedi Informazioni "</form>
    Code (markup):
    Firefox highlighted this in the source right away as malformed HTML (highlighted in red).
    Properly closing the input element, might be enough to fix this.

    Strange, You are ignorant about HTML and you are creating a website for client?

    What's the issue? take the pain to EXPLAIN, screenshot etc. Or you want us to find out the issues.

    USE CSS and percentages in your design and you won't have problems
