    Exclamation Alignment Issues In IE

    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.

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

    Code:
    <!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:

    and:

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