I built my website using Firefox. But when I go to Expolrer it is not good. Why is this. Is there something I can do soo matter what it opens on it all good!!!

Which website are we talking about?

You always have to keep in mind that your website should work in all browsers, and there is no good way to get around it. See if you can use some more basic programming or layout which works in IE as well.

I'm working on my main website. But when I have a look at it on Firefox it is ok. When I look at it on IE it's not the same.

So if I build my site using either browser it never looks the same on either viewing.

It's doing my head in.

What is the most popular browser people use. May be I just use that one and hope they don't look at it using another...

Thanx for your reply.

Hi There

I have had this problem as well. Its no good just ignoring the fact that different people use different browsers.

If you eliminate either firefox or IE you are eliminating a huge chunk of people and if your site is trying to sell something you would be loosing money for not optimizing your site for one or the other browsers.
Listen to cluedoubt93 when he says use some more basic programing.
Look at the sections of your site that works in both browsers and then start eliminating the parts that don't work well by trying other methods of designing the web page.
Unfortunatly we all have this cross to bare so be patient or get someone who knows what he is doing to look at your website HTML and see if he or she can do anything to help.
What program are you using to build your website is it a wysywig program or an HTML code program.
let Me know.
Regards Tony B.

As mentioned before your web site will always look different in different browsers and sometimes even different versions of those browsers.

Whenever I do a web site, I always check it in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Then I usually go to Browsercam where I can check it out in 14 different browsers and versions of browsers including Opera and Safari.

It is amazing how different browsers can and do look very different. I learned the hard way on that one.

its because IE read the html and CSS codes a bit differently then firefox. Especially when using CSS stylesheets.

To overcome that, you just have to change the coding a bit so it will do the same thing.

It is important whether you use absolute or normal flow of elements on web page. If you use float left or right, always put width to elements.

Main difference between FF and IE is margin, so play around with margins.

I always make sure I check it in different browsers and I also check from different computers because you also have some monitors that are larger than others and it looks different through those as well. I am sure there is an easier way with coding I have just never looked into it. Hey TheBlindMonkey can you go into a little more detail about this.

The different browsers use different emulators/webkits to display encoded sources. The rule amongst developers is to build your site in Firefox or Safari and then tweak or fix the coding with javascript tricks to get the same look across all browsers.

Normally validated code would more or less iron out these problems anyways, but as you say, padding and margin spacing is somewhat of an annoyance in these matters.

In later versions of IE there are options to ensure that your site is shown how you want it, by placing a single line of code that would make your site emulate in the browser version your originally developed it in. Does that make sense?
