    Dreamweaver Templates don't usually hold up well in FireFox because FireFox doesn't let minor errors go like IE does. You're going to have to have this coded in strict css/html.

    Of course, at the moment it looks just as bad in IE as well as in FF because the link to the external style sheet is referencing a path on your hard drive (which no one else can access) instead of a WWW path (which can be accessed).

    Yes as whn daniel said you have to check your HTML code again because firefox doesn't ignore minor errors ..

    Yeah Firefox actually reads code correctly. Unlike IE which can compensate for some errors, and in turn read some code whichever way it feels like and mess that up instead :mad:
