    Hello,

    My site is final-fantasy.us

    I am trying to make my site compatible with both firefox and IE. I am having one problem at the moment. If you open the site in IE, there is a whole scroll at the moment and if you open the site in firefox there is a huge space at the bottom.

    I have already tried the !DOCTYPE method, didn't work. Any other idea?

    -Thanks

    Really? Does it not have a scroll bar to slide right-left for no reason? It looks liek that on my IE (version 7.0.6).

    No, but, I didn't notice earlier, there is a good amount of black space on the right side of the theme.

    I'll check on other PC tomorrow. For some reason this computer wacks things out.

    On a forum I was creating -- the theme on viewtopic went wide after the header -- but only on viewing with this PC. I'll let you know after looking on other pc ;)

    Here's a screen capture from your page..
    7.0.5730.. is my IE version on this winxphome 800x600

    Take notice that the screenshot is at fifty percent. I uploaded/edited the above post while you were replying.

    Yes, i guess i messed with the coding somehow, its gonna take some work to actualyl find where I changed what.

    Thanks for confirmation. I'll get started on finding the bug. It wasn't the browser after all. BTW, it doesn't show the space on the right in firefox.

    It's probably a padding/margin issue. IE has big CSS bugs :( Hopefully they'll fix in their latest revision. You could use CSS hacks (eh. non-compliant I don't believe with XHTML standards) or (my suggestion :)) use a PHP code to detect the browser (simple function) and switch the stylesheet (the re-coded one for IE and standard for FF) depending on what is detected! :)
