ie vs firefox

Hello,

I have begun designing my own sites for flexibility and to get exactly what I want. Also, I really enjoy it although I am just learning.

When I view my site with ie, it looks great. When I view it with firefox, the header (which I placed inside a table) has spaces around the edges.

I am sorry if I am not clear. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and how they solved it.

Thanks,

 

Well if you posted that particular chunk of code we could look and it and probably pick out the problem really quick...

 

I haven't published it to the web yet. What piece of the code do you need to see? The header or the whole page?

 

Firefox because IE is busy for me

 

I must be over my head I don't understand what you mean. I have only one page coded in HTML that looks ok in ie but not in firefox.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

 

Without seeing, there are way too many possibilities; default margin/padding differences and collapsing margins (which IE gets wrong) come immediately to mind.

cheers,

gary

 

Post the code from your header and relevant section of your stylesheet.

 

have you verified all of your coding with a validator? that may sort out the problem

 

Best advice I was ever given was "get it right in FF" and then do the needed fixes in IE ..... seems to work fine for me

 

I've had code that comes back completely validated yet still has display problems in IE. I eish everyone would just switch to firefox.

 

I agree with kk5st in that margins and padding seem like the likely reason you are having this problem... try adding this to the top of your html in the style guide

you may not need the padding line, as margin should do the trick - but just in case i put it in

so it should look like this in your html.....

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
-->
</style>
