    I have been using IE6 forever with no problems but I recently installed FireFox and the profile pages on my site do not display properly in Firefox. Can someone tell me if they see a lot of white space on the profile pages in Firefox? My site functions perfectly in IE. How do I fix this problem?

    Here is my site:
    http://www.inmate-connection.com

    Thanks.

    This is why all web developers use a modern browser such as Firefox or Opera or Safari to create web pages. Web sites built using any version of IE are more likely to fall apart when using modern standards and practices. Never use IE for initially testing web pages but do test them there as you go along to see when and where IE screws up.

    You've declared the pages as HTML but some pages use a XHTML end tag - />. Remove that slash. Browsers sometimes stop processing at that point. The other thing you need to do is learn to use the valildator. Errors in syntax will cause many problems.

    Specifically, what is wrong with the page?

    The display of individual profiles do not line up properly in FireFox. Look at this page in FireFox and in IE:

    http://www.inmate-connection.com/profile.php?show=&id=5385

    They all display like that. When my site was built 7 years ago, there were not that many web browsers around and IE was perfectly ok.
