    Start with validating it. Also it looks terrible in Opera as well.

    What do you mean by validating it. Also before it was fine, , until I added a few stuff to it.

    i'm guessing because of this problem you didn't design it originally, to take out the stuff you added, and get the person who designed it to fix it.

    Why would this only happen to Mozilla?

    No, the problem is with the CSS/HTML. Try correcting these problems.

    Thank you for all your help, the person who did this for me will fix it tomorrow. This has been going on for over 4 months without me knowing it.

    It's still pretty bad, markup-wise. That guy didn't charge you, did he? It's not exactly professional grade.

    cheers,

    uhhh it may look fine to you, but mark up validation is a different thing. try clicking on the link he posted and taking a look at the warnings.

    for one thing you don't even have a document type stated

    <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>

    things like leftmargin, topmargin, marginwidth, margineheight isn't code, that should be part of the CSS file...which doesn't exist

    Do keep in mind that the rendering by Firefox is the most closely representative of the code. All pages should be developed against Firefox, as it is the most standards compliant browser at this time. (Safari has some oddities and is not widely available, and Opera varies too much from build to build.) IE, including IE7, is obsolete, non-compliant and bug-ridden. If you code against a non-compliant, buggy browser, you will write non-compliant, buggy code. Once you have good code, you can patch for IE.

    cheers,

    As a young designer and web master, I used to make the same arguement, but the best bet is to assure compliance with both browsers simultaneously before even launching a site. This is often easier said than done.
    However, if I had to pick one of the two browsers for my sites to be compliant with, I would definitely go with IE.
    I agree that Firefox is gaining momentum and popularity very quickly, but Firefox itself has admited to claiming less than 10% of the browser market. IE is just now dropping below 90%.
    According to a study observed by TechWeb.com, Firefox users click your advertisements about four to five times less than IE users.
    When it comes to making money with my websites, I will flow with changes of the times. As I look at my very own site statistics, I can clearly see that more than 80% of my viewers are using IE. It would be foolish for me to ignore the simple facts.

    It is not an issue of market share. If I had the only Firefox browser in use anywhere, it would still be my testbed.

    As an old fart who has consciously worked to develop with well structured, semantic and well formed html+css for four years[1], now, I can tell you that it is easier done than said. Even IE works more consistantly if run in standards mode, rendering valid markup. To use IE as the prime testbed is to develop poor habits, depending on IE bugs and erroneous implementations to carry you through. Meanwhile, browsers without those bugs render what you wrote instead of what you hoped for.

    When the excrement impacts upon the rotational air distribution device, and it will, you'll have no firm foundation of valid, well structured and semantic code on which to rebuild. It will be buggy code on top of buggy code in support of a buggy browser.

    When the stuff starts flying, I will be able to consider my approach to the problem from a position on solid ground.

    cheers,

    gary

    [1] I have thankfully forgot all the stupid hacks and weird nesting that non-trivial table layouts required.
