I have read a few things on people complaining about the differences seen between firefox and internet explorer. My website is doing the same thing and I just want to know (because I'm very very very new at html) is there an easy fix for this problem????

That depends on what the problem is. Perhaps you could post a link to your site.

Please fix your HTML and CSS errors. When you have HTML errors browsers have to guess what you meant. How can you expect them all to guess the same way?

You should use a complete doctype (one that includes a URL) to get browsers to render as close to the same as possible. I recommend HTML 4.01 Strict. A doctype is not a magic fix. It is the first step in the process of fixing your page.

Thanks for taking the time to help. I will try my best and see what I can do. Most of this HTML stuff is just self taught. Thanks again.
