Hi, i have created a site and all was well untill i checked the website in FF. it seems that some of the divs position themselves higher in IE than they do in FF, this making the alignment of the page messed up.

The site is here (http://www.simply-pizza.com), any help would be much appreciated.

You won't get any cross-browser conformity without a valid doctype on the page for starters - you will probably find IE will then display more like proper browsers. All the absolute positioning is another problem as the layout breaks on text resize - looks like the site was done with Dreamweaver via the design view window, which is usually not a good idea....

What is that little semi-colon-looking thing to the immediate left of "HOME"? Only seen in Firefox, this "HOME" seems to be a javascript, not a regular anchor link. It probably does no harm, I tried to find it in your code could could not..

I think all that Javascript text insert stuff contains a missing closing quote on a title value resulting in that :; you're seeing.

Start with a valid doctype and IE will probably look just like Fx.
