I made this site. It took me a long time to make it. It works perfectly in firefox. One of my friends checked it in internet explorer, and told me that it doesn't work. I checked it,he was right it doesn't work. I really really need this to work.
Need to make it work in IE

Will GREATLY GREATLY appreciate any help

could you rewrite that giving specific information
eg. - what version of explorer are you using?
also we cant just say whats wrong without seeing your code so you will most likely have to provide us with that unless someone else has had the exact same problem.

next time read the rules it says " dont post topics titled 'help me please!' "

Your site crashed my instance of Firefox and so I took a look at it in Lynx. There is so much wrong with that page that I don't know where to start. Perhaps with the 105 HTML errors ( http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourdreamfuture.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 ). But I would suggest that you start over from the beginning. Start with the content properly marked up according to its meaning and then add the presentation on top with CSS. That means no TABLEs for layout. And unless you really know what you are doing do not use XHTML. And you really don't know what you are doing.

<embed src="<object width=" width="586"" height="586"465> This makes no sense whatsoever. :o

A lot of validational warnings and deprecated stuff. You say it works in Fx but not in IE? I'm a bit surprised, -its usually the other way around. At any rate, I had to try twice to load this into Firefox and the second time while successful, it took waaaaaay too long. This is due to the TABLE layout and unweildy code like the quote above.

Totally fixable though. :)

You have Firefox? Get "web developer" extension. Install it, use "VIEW - SOURCE" and it shows you the code and the errors/warnings. There is a 'clean up code' button that, if there are no ERRORS it will present a cleaned more-correct code to use. It won't get rid of the TABLE-based layout, but fixing the errors like quote above, is a good start. :)

And yes, because these threads/posts are archived for reference later on, it is advisable to use descriptives to name the thread, not "Please help me!" which is meaningless. A "firefox/ie rendering isue' might be a better name

instead of using the copyright symbol in your code replace it with this:

&copy;

like this:

<p class="style7" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;" align="center">Copyright &copy; YourDreamFuture.com</p>

Really messed up in IE6.
I suggest you download some browsers to test before publishing.
