Hi
Can someone here who has both IE and FireFox tell me what's wrong with my front page? http://www.THYRIUM.com (beware of profanity)
Seriously.
I spent 10 hours adjusting the tables to work on Mac and PC FireFox and now it looks like hell in Explorer.

Ie and firefox have different box models. You just have to tweak it. I can't just look at it and put my finger right on a problem, I have to play with different methods of positioning and different values.
Here is a tip, design for complaint browsers, make it work in mozilla and opera. Then rework it for ie but try to keep it working for the others. If you cant get it to stay put for the others but work for ie then hack for ie.
Also, if you use a strict doc type the ie box model should behave a bit more.
One more tip, use some valid code, when you use invalid code the browser is in quirks mode for that code.
I DID make it for Firefox first... And I think that was the problem.
This was the first time I did it 'backwards'. It was a lot easier to build an IE compatable page and make it work in FireFox than a FireFox buildt page to IE.
I would start all over and code it in explorer first, but I have gone too far.
But I don't know what you mean by invalid code.
