OK, so after much work, I've been able to get all but two problems solved on my site. No content up, so please be kind.

First off, the address: http://www.infinitegeekonline.com

And now, the problem: Firefox lines everything up ok, and I don't know how.

See? Pretty.

IE6 . . . doesn't.

Opera tries, but only gets it half right.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? How I can I change it so it works on all three, and not screw up one? Please tell me what info you need.

Nix that . . . got it sorted out on all browsers. Well, except for Opera, but I'm so sick of having that browser screw things up that I'm not even going to worry about it anymore. The .77% of you out there that use Opera will just have to deal with odd spacings . . . and forums that don't quite show up.

Issues like this are most likely based on browser defaults... looks like FF right aligns, IE left, and opera center... weird.

Anyway, you just need to specificy the alignment (in the right place), and they should be the same.

I tried that, but it seemed to screw things up even more. Of course, it could have been I was trying it on the wrong object.

or that you weren't coding it correctly.
No offense.... some of that stuff can get complex if you're not used to it.

Anyway, this is just another example of why they should all stick to the SAME "standards".

Well, with the new coding in place, it now looks the same on browsers using Gecko, Trident, KHTML, and Webcore. Opera's browsing engine is the ONLY one that screws it up, so I'm not too worried anymore.

It's funny... from what I've heard, I think that Safari is somewhat related to Opera.

Anyway.... check out this screencap. Doesn't look too bad, but I think the problem is there too.
Odd.

(safari is the mac browser)

It is, but not the worst of the problems. Did you happen to check the forums page? Did the iFrame work out?

iFrame?


EDIT: Ah, yes, seems just fine.
