    Hello everyone I for the first time ever made my own simple html template.
    problem is it currently only works for firefox.

    Any ideas on how I can get it working with IE8 and maybe Chrome? have not tested with Chrome.

    there is a lot of miss in your code.
    make a Stye.css alone and link to it in your template.. check your website here : http://validator.w3.org/ that will fix the errors, then the IE will read your template correctly.

    Yes, I imagine it would be problematic. You need to tell the browsers what you're sending. The fist couple of lines of your page look like this:
    html>
<head>
    Code (markup):
    Notice something? First, your html tag is missing the opening "<" character. That could definitely throw off a browser, especially one as proprietary as IE. But there's a bigger problem. You have no DOCTYPE tag on your page. The previous post said to go to the W3C validator, and you should. But first, you need to go read some other stuff there. Go to http://www.w3.org and read about DTDs. Meanwhile, fix your html tag, and put this at the very top of your page, the VERY top before the html tag:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    That may or may not be the best DTD for your particular needs, but it will do for a start. Now the browsers will know how to interpret your page. By the way, those are some pretty low hosting prices you have listed there, are those for real?

    If you are just learning HTML I would definitely recommend checking in all browsers as you build the site. You shouldn't wait until the end to test in other browsers because it will be harder for you to narrow down problems in your code.

    I'd be more concerned with the letter your bound to get from Dreamworks regarding copyright infringement...
