Works fine in Firefox...DISASTROUS in IE! - Page 2 - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

There is a difference between html n xhtml. First learn the rules specified for both. Use css perfectly. I can tel confidently that your designs wont break at all in any of the major browsers like IE all versions, Firefox, Opera.

FireFox is much more standards-oriented. Test against FF while checking IE each step of the way to make sure it's not breaking anything. If you only test against IE it could end up only looking right in IE since IE just does its own thing.

For IE6 and earlier users, auto-redirect 'em to the FireFox download page. Don't even allow them to view the site. Just kidding (sort of)... I know that's not realistic. But explain to the client that adding support for antiquated browsers will greatly add to the numbers of hours you will be billing them for. Then it's up to them. Also, check their analytics to see how many IE6 visitors they actually get.

This happened to me too, but when I change my version of dreamweaver (I had cs3 and now cs4) the issue was fixed.

CSS in IE and Firefox is not the same as the performance, you'd better to use multiple browser testing, web site and standards web2.0, reference web site: World Wide Web Consortium - Web Standards

I'm having the same problem with IE 6 & 7, but looks almost perfect in IE 8. I'm about to try taking all my CSS header files and transposing them into "inline" styles and see if that works. Maybe if someone who has already tried this would respond, it might help a bunch of us save some time and frustration.

Buddy comparing to Internet Explorer I think Firefox is the Best.

What version of IE have you opened it on? Have you tried testing it in each and every version of IE?

I have seen my pages load in IE-6, IE-7 and the latest (which I'm not sure if it is 8 or 7.x) I have designed the pages in FireFox. The output looks almost perfect in IE(latest) but is a real mess in the earlier versions. I'm wondering if it is the external CSS (or just plain CSS) that is the problem (I'm almost sure IE-6 doesn't understand external files) but what about in-line CSS? Sure ... I can just be happy with my website in FireFox, but there are a few instances where there is someone (like my political representatives in Washington) who I have no idea which browser they are using. The same argument could be used in general--under all situations. Wouldn't it be better to create a website that anyone, anywhere in the world could read? After all, this is the World Wide Web, is it not? (fwilliam)
