good in FF,but bad in IE

hi.I am practicing web design for CSS/XHTML 1.0 strict.I am making mistakes in the area of cross browser compatibility.It works good in FF,but not in IE.can anyone suggest me good sites or e-books to learn cross browser compatibility?also how to overcome it?

 

I think that there are no e-books for that, and the best way is trying different solutions for one problem

 

yeah you are right,I think I have to follow what you said.thank you.

 

Yeah, just keep on testing different solutions, use google as never before.
The chances that no one else has ever got the same problem like you is 0.0000001%

 

Always follow Firefox. It is most likely to display what you wrote while IE is more likely to display a multitude of errors. See any of my links below.

 

That hasn't anything to do with his actual question.

 

Neither does that.

 

browsershots.org is a very useful site, when it comes to testing out how your website appears in different browsers.

I would also recomend designing your site to look it's best in firefox, then you can add the IE tags to change it's appearance in IE.
