I see content just fine in FF.

I see what you mean, the bottom doesn't center. You aren't the only one having problems centering in FF. I think it may be a bug. No sweat, it looks good in IE.

Look at all the pages. Not just the bottom. Click on Activities or Local Interests. Any suggestions?

I Had the same problem a while back, Never did figure it out - I agree tho I think that Firefox as good as it maybe has a few bugs in it.

In the end i was very naughty and used absolute positioning to position elements where I wanted them.

Both sites I am currently working on SUCK in FF. I believe I am doing decent job of keeping things the way they should. Can anyone look at them and tell me some practices that I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Some pages look alright, others are all over the place. Any help is appreciated.

I noticed the page/s that work validate but the pages that don't work don't validate. One, the validator doesn't even try! (Gives up due to two major errors of some sort).

Are you fixing your coding errors listed by the validator? For example, on one page it says you are using "language=javascript" which is depracated, I believe. Some browsers will accept any garbage you throw at it and manage to display right, like IE, but the problem is you are not coding correctly. Like coding with BASIC would let you get away with programming errors but when you switch to 'C' you can't get anything done because it follows standards and good practices.

I am fairly new to this validation process. Can someone help me and point me in the right direction as to what doc type I should be using. The URL is www.rvranchftworth.com. Thanks.

Here's one

#information
{
width: 250px;
text-align: center;
margin:auto;
}

On your activities page, the quotes are lower than you expect them to be because of the margins from the H5 elements that you write to the page. You can fix that with#quotes h5 { margin: 0; padding: 0 }And while we're looking at that quote code, note that headings must have a closing tag, and it really doesn't make any sense to make a definition term a heading as well.

The whole activities page, in fact, is filled with errors.<dl>
<dt></dt><h5>" We always enjoy staying here at the RV Ranch. The people
are friendly and very helpful. The surroundings are beautiful and kept
spotless."
<dd>-- Terry and Melissa Hann
</dd></h5></dl>Here an H5 element not within a definition list or a definition term.

And in the CSS as well.font: bold small-caps 900 14px arial;Bold is not a possible value for the first position.

A full list of the (many) errors found by the validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.rvranchftworth.com/activities.htm

So there's a lot to go back and fix. In fact, the pages are so bad that I'd actually recommend that you start over from scratch. And when you're doing that, for every small piece of the page you add check that it looks the way you intend in both browsers and check with the validator.

I just went through and made my page valid and it still looks all sorts of jacked in FF. Anyone got any ideas?
