    Default Firefox mess up my website layout

    Hi, I imagine there has been many threads and I'ms orry to bring it up again, but I'm having problems getting my layout to look as it should in firefox. It looks fine in IE, and despite looking for help on google etc I've not been able to find out what the problem is.

    My website is www.moorsty.co.uk, if any of you could help me out I'd appreciate it, thanks.

    Well, don't use an image slicer. Code it by hand.

    I'm not skilled enough! I've always made my websites through photoshop, slicing them and then using dreamweaver to a basic level. I've never had this problem before. Is there no way to fix it?

    There is a way to fix this problem, but it's way more faster to re-code it.

    Your code is highly invalid. You should be aiming for HTML 4.01 Strict. The use of frames is frowned upon nowadays due to numerous accessibility problems.

    Smile website layout

    When I took a look it appeared about the same in IE as it did in Mozilla Firefox. Either way there are several missing graphics.
    I would suggest setting up a table in Dreamweaver or whatever program you are using and create nested tables within to format the pages and have them consistent amongst browsers. Ditto on the frameset comments.
    HOpe that helps!

    Nested tables have several disadvantages and are strongly discouraged. See http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/everything.html.

    haha those cartoon characters are funny. I dont remember seeing you posting this link before, but I am definitely going to keep a shortcut to it. that provides good knowledge in a way that doesnt make you want to fall asleep, aka people might actually read through it

    Image slicing is stupid, for many reasons. But, you know, most image slicers produce (valid or not) cross browser code. You must either have a bad one or be doing something wrong.
