Hi, gosh, I don't understand. I am following all the W3 rules. Why does Mozilla require so much extra room on the pages compared to all the other browsers.
I can fill up a page with text that views just fine in all other browsers. But when I get to Mozilla the text overflows each time at the bottom. I am constantly increasing the page sizes only to accomodate Mozilla. Does anyone know why? Its finally getting to me. Please let me know, Thank you very much.

Mozilla doesn't usually require any more room than other browsers so it must be something you have done. Without seeing the page and knowing which browser version you have the problem with, it is impossible to say what the cause is.

Thank you, what about fonts, so some browsers view fonts differently than others because its not a standard font.

If a font is installed on the computer then all the browsers on that computer should be able to use it. If it is a different computer then maybe the font is the problem.

Are you using any floats or height:100% anywhere in your CSS? You are constantly doing this. You ask a question about html but dont post your code or a link.
FYI -- IE stretches a page (without any setting); Firefox interprets coding as it is stated. The fault may lie with your coding, not the browser.

Its the latest version of IE, everything views fine until I put sylfaen text in it. There is only two things left it could be then. Does IE and Mozilla view <p> tags or <span> tags any differently? Thats all that is left. I dont have any top margin properties in my these two tags so if its not the tags, it has to be how they both view sylfaen.

the problem could most likely be margins and paddings.
as a test try this:
span, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, div{
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
}

Interesting idea thanks. That looks like it goes in the stylesheet area of the page. How do I connect the text section to it. If I just put it in as it doesn't change anything.

isn't your text in any <p> tags?
if you have any set styles already add the padding:0; and margin:0; and see if it does anything

I'll have to do this with I have more time I guess. I don't have a external for the p's and span's on this page so I guess I need to add it to each one. Its going to take a while to add this to each one. But its still a good idea and will probably tell me whats wrong. Thanks for the good tip, I'll try it some time and see what happens. Thanks for help all.
