If you design your site for IE and then see it in Firefox then it seems like Firefox destroys the layout.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the obvious...

So I guess you just have to check your website at every step in both the browsers, cos it seems like they follow different standards.
Wow, you're full of useful information. Do you mind if I write that down?

FireFox and Opera appear to be pretty much in agreement about what the page should look like, but IE6 completely destroys the layout. I haven't tried it with IE7 yet. Nothing for you guys to see, just complaining...

<font>tags,<table>s for layout, transparent gifs for positioning and spacing and all your problems will go away. ...but as others have said: check your DOCTYPE. Oh, and come back to me in a couple of week's and you'll be complaining about how Firefox does some really dumb things. Then a week after that Opera. Then a couple more weeks it will be IE again.

I believe it. That was a horrible browser even when it was released. Hasn't it been a while since it was a major browser though?

Spoken like a typical noob! CSS is not your problem, cross browser compatibility is the issue here. :doh: Getting web pages to render consistently on all browsers is like trying to herd cats, they all have a different agenda. :sigh: Now that you have left the cloistered Windows C++ cocoon and ventured out into the "Wild West" mentality of the internet there are quite a few more bumps along the way. :~ Just wait until you start coding javascript, presuming you are serious about addressing the wider world of the internet, and you will find subtleties that make CSS rendering seem like child's play. :rolleyes:

IE7 is M$ eating crow. :-D They tried to force others to go along with their view of the browser universe and other browsers started to blow their doors off! :rolleyes: They realized that the sheep weren't following blindly in that brave new world called the internet. :doh: Not unlike "Mission Accomplished!" :~ to much fanfare when they took on Netscape and won they couldn't just declare victory and assume that it will happen. :doh: There were competing browsers and they offered more of what a browser should do. :cool: They quite simply had to conform a little closer to where the competition was going or be left behind. :cool: If you really want to get serious about cross browser compatibility don't forget Netscape, AOL OpenRide, Maxthon, Avant, Konqueror and, err ... did I mention Safari, to name a few. :wtf:

So have I, but I know worse things to deal with. CSS itself isn't bad at all. It's the different implementations of it that makes it a challenge.. Perhaps that is what you meant? :~

Yes and I think AOL OpenRide and Maxthon also are layered on IE, but for completeness you must at least check that there is consistent rendering because they may have quirks. :doh: You can't even assume FireFox and Netscape render the same despite the same basic technology because there are rendering subtleties between them also. :sigh:

No. CSS is the problem BECAUSE of cross-browser issues.

That really doesn't address the millions of idiot end-users that use IE6 because "it came on their machine".

I think I'm going to only support Lynx.
