hey im pretty new at this, but i thought i had this site im building done until i tried it in IE.. basically i dont know where to start to fix it. if anyone could look at my code and see where the differences lie that would help me out alot! or, i dont know if there is a way, but could i somehow set an exception in the code that will pull up different code that i could write specifically for IE?? thanks in advance for any help!!!

You have some small CSS problems, -like stating "px" in HTML, for instance:

width="400px"

is invalid, as this is HTML.

style="width:400px;" is inline-style CSS

Noticed this:

<li style="border-bottom-style:1px solid #ffffff"><a class="hide" href="downloads.html">downloads</a>

Your "border bottom style" here is "solid", but you also state a "border width" and "border color", so it should be correctly written as:

<li style="border:1px solid #ffffff"><a class="hide" href="downloads.html">downloads</a>

and now it will work.

I see what you mean about the content in IE versus the content in Firefox.

I'm still figuring this out and maybe I'll have something to post back shortly.. :)

You have many IE-conditionals here, -in my opinion these are unnecessary. I very seldom need to conditional-out for IE except for maybe font-size.

The IE conditionals are a requirement of the Stu Nicholls type two tier menu used - I much prefer the suckerfish method myself.

As this is a table layout, I won't be much use here, but I do notice the first table width is set at 214%......

I started to recognize the Stu N. layout the more I looked at it. It works. I'm just not a big fan of that particular method (mostly because I don't understand it).
I might keep that part intact though and I might nix the other table layout for something a little more understandable. :)

thanks for the help guys! i might just have a flash intro (which i kinda wanted to do anyway:) that either asks, or automatically redirects you at the end based on what browser you have.. is that the easy way out?)
