Help plz -_- Stupid IE & FF problem...

mholt · 08-03-2005, 04:37 PM

First, I'd like to rant about why Microsoft made up their OWN rules when they wrote IE??? How come they don't comply to the W3C standards?

Anyway,

Please compare this page in IE and FF:

How can I get that green line to stay where it is supposed to?

Thanks for ANY help,
-Matt

Nothing friggin looks right in IE...I wish m$ would just roll over and die.

mholt · 08-03-2005, 04:55 PM

I'm putting that in my little book of quotes

I agree completely.

... I still need some advice...

Your code was so messed up I'm surprised it worked at all; in this case I think the developer is to blame, not the software.

I fixed your problem after a bit of re-writing:

Code:

No worries, thanks.

Your right image is broken. I would recommend making an overall div. The div will contain all the pictures. All of the pictures will but up to the top of this invisible div and will line up pefect.

Hope This Helps,

Microsoft seriously like to make their own rules, what they say goes, its like they compeletly rewrote the W3C standards, which arnt valid at all, and then if someone makes a W3C valid site and it looks ok in firefox, Microsoft says that they didn't code it right, thus it not working in IE.

Maybe when the final release of the next IE version comes out, we will see the tabbed browsing, stolen from firefox (stolen from opera) and it reads the W3C Standards better.

Lets hope so anyway, I still doubt it though

IE 7 has tabbed browsing, it also meets css 2.0 standards, and has .png transparency support, aswell as some other goodies. I really hope it helps close the gap between IE and FF so coding for one browser finally works for all.
