IE to Firefox/Netscape?

JonathanRay · 03-18-2005, 07:30 PM

I've just created a website using HTML. It looks fine in IE. When I open it in Firefox or Netscape everything is messed up. The menus are off alignment, the .swf file is resized, frames are resized allowing scroll bars to be visble - it's a mess. If anyone can help me figure out how to make the page look the same in Firefox/Netscape as in IE, I'd be really appreciative. Thanks.

Looks to me like a problem with the nested iframes. I think they could be a compatibility problem that may be fixed by getting rid of them.

I really like the firefox tabbed browsing and add-ons, but it still lacks displaying a lot of pages correctly (as the designer intended).

just viewed your source of the frame

seems like you have two sets of head tags and two sets of body tags, which can andwill cause a problem with any browser that renders stuff as its supposed to (firefox netscape ect) As well there are some files still being linked from C://ect ect ect you will want to fix those as well

Actually that's a problem with IE. Too many people design a site for IE, and as a result they don't use web standards.
