    I have a site http://www.unet.co.uk. I can see everything in firefox but when i view it in explorer i cannot see the "tabs" at the top of the site ( the links to the other pages ).

    It looks like a code issue but i dont code so i dont even know what i am looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction or assist me in this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd also like to know what version of firefox you re using. I'm curious as to what platform the site is? e.g. wordpress, joomla, or just your own html/css/php. If it is wordpress, I had a similar problem with a specific template. The problem occurred after updating to the latest version of wordpress. I am still not sure why or what caused my problem, but reinstalling the old wordpress (3.2.1) did the trick. Have you updated it with a new version or whatever you're using or updated the code in any way? Just letting you know I had the same problem and how I fixed it! Good luck with the site friend.

    you can see the site here > www.unet.co.uk so why would you think its wordpress etc.

    I cannot see the "tabs" at the top of the page with explorer ( version 9 ) but I can in firefox. I have used 3 computers all in different locations all giving the same problem

    run a code at top of site that gets the users Browser info :
    $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

    if its IE, Chrome, Firefox etc . and then direct them to that site page that was set up for the browser compatibility.
    If not using entire separate pages, use the handler files for that.
    index_header_firefox.php or
    index_header_IE.php
    as an example..and set up the different navigation for each that looks best in the browser used.

    compile your pages with the handler file and grab the proper content in separate folders for each page /browser compatibility.

    There ya go. give me rep points, throw money or point and say = "Yay!"
