hi ive just designed my 1st website and thought i had done a pretty good job until i viewed the page in IE.

my page is http://www.birminghambulls.org/bulls.html

i have no idea what needs to be changed to make it line up how it does in FF but any help will be appreciated.

i used dreamweaver cs3 to design my site using tables as a friend of mine told me it was easiest to do.

please help!!!

thanx in advance

Hi,

I think you'll need to provide more info. I just looked at it in IE and it looks the same as in FF at my resolution. So what is the issue. How is it not aligned correctly and what browser version might help.

i have IE7. the problem is when i open it in firefox the image at the top and the text all fit the main box correctly. but when i open it in IE7 some of the image and text is overlapped i will up a pic to show you.

First of all, you are using quirks mode. That means browsers can do whatever they like. Use a valid URL DOCTYPE like:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

That won't ensure cross browser compatibility, but it will minimize differences and allow you to use the validators to get meaningful advice:

Also, you might look at the table you have set at 104%. I think that's part of the problem for IE

thanx ruth......u neva believe how much times i skipped past that 104% not realising it wasnt 100....that was the problem. i just skimmed past it thinkin it was 100 cos usually i end up doing them just smaller like 98%.

thanx again:)
