    Can anybody can test my site www.gtravelsources.com in both IE and Firefox? I designed the site and tested it in IE, but yesterday when I installed Firefox and tested it, found the look was terribly awesome.

    This is a website using aspx programming, and for my other site www.hkhangfong.com, which is completely html, no problem existed in most of the pages, only this page http://www.hkhangfong.com/seo/submissionsoftwares.htm shows differently in IE and Firefox.

    Looks like cell space of table in Firefox is larger than in IE, and Firefox can't show the backgroud colors, and fine border is showed bold in Firefox also.

    Experts please test the following pages for me in both IE and Firefox, and tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks a lot!

    Tbh it doesnt look too bad, what you need to do is looking styling the table borders as they are currently using just the standard border effect. Trying applying the following css to your tables:

    border: 1px solid #000000;

    The other issue on the index page seems to related to line spacing or the style you have given the text elements.

    Finally look at putting all your <style> information into a seperate css - this will help a lot when you need to edit the apperance of the entire site. Unfortunately its all a bit of a mess as you havent given the styles specific names - simply style43 or style21 - make the names something relational so when you do need to edit components it makes them much easier to identify.

    The reason it'll be different is IE has "problems" and I usually code to Firefox standards as that is what most browsers display.

    Sabian1982, I'm using bordercolordark and bordercolorlight to show fine table border in IE, maybe Firefox doesn't support this two function.

    As for the line space, I'm using table to separate lines, not paragraph.

    You are right, to rename the css names is the same as redesigning the website.
