    Hi All

    My website looks good in internet explorer but it looks funny in firefox and chrome. What are the differences in the coding/css for all three? How do I fix this problem?

    Regards

    most of the time people are getting problem with IE and not with firefox and chrome because IE tends to use old technology. But for your info, most of the time, website tends to look funny in different browsers because of the nature of their rendering engine. For example firefox use -moz while chrome use webkit engine. If you want to fix the problem you need to ensure that the CSS for your website is cross browser. you can refer to http://www.css3please.com for cross browser CSS especially with CSS3

    Never ever believe IE. Test according to FF and write fixes for IE in separate CSS and use conditional statement.

    actually IE sometimes is the problem child when it comes to browser compatibility issues, in order to solve this kind of problems, you really have to visit some forums, or try googling it, also check the css, you have to do some editing.

    A lot of it is just trial and error - but as radiant_love said Firefox is a good reference point to start with. Search around online; there are lots of helpful IE fixes out there.
