OK in IE, BAD in Firefox

    Hi guys,

    I wonder what's incorrect in the design of this page. I bought it and when I opened the page in Dreamweaver it's messed up. I can't move any element and it gets even worse.

    The strange thing is that IE interprets the page OK but when I look at the page in Firefox it's not correct, I mean the graphics/arrow at the right and a part of the text is kind of duplicated...

    Would you please tell me how to correct the html code of the page?

    Please.

    Thanks
    Marian

    It looks to me like this problem is caused because IE uses it's own box model, which is different from the international standard, and thus margin and padding are being interpreted differently.

    It looks like the image that is getting "messed up" is split between multiple table cells, and that one of these cells has a size interpretation issue. The one holding the part of the image that is duplicating it's self.

    Marian, when you rebuild the page, test it in FF using proper, semantic XHTML and CSS until it looks flawless. Then open it in IE and make any IE-specific corrections to get it to work. This will cut way down on dev time. If you try to develop it for both, testing in both browsers as you go, you'll pull your hair out trying to figure out every little issue.

    Odd, I'm looking at your site in Firefox 2.0.0.1 and everything is displaying fine as far as I can tell... I'm guessing you managed to correct the issue.
