Why does it look different in FF and IE?

[momonline]

Can someone please tell me what code I would need to add to have the view the same in both FF and IE:

I want the scroll to only be on the bottom...IE is doing this correctly...FF is not.

Thanks!

EDIT: Here's the "middle-frame" page:

Try this maybe:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="1000%" id="AutoNumber1" align="left">

Replace that with:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; overflow-y: none;" width="1000%" id="AutoNumber1" align="left">

Thanks Nile, but it's still not working in FF.

Ok, I'm not good at all at the style with x & y. So change the script above to this:
[code]
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; overflow-x: none;" width="1000%" id="AutoNumber1" align="left">

Sorry still not working in FF -- oddly enough changing to "x" or "y" had no effect in FF or IE -- didn't change anything...I also read something online somewhere about "x" and "y" overflow -- but I have no clue how to apply it.

First 2 questions, then 1 answer:

Question:
1. Can I ask why you're using frames here? You should give this article a read and make an informed decision about living with the negatives that frames bring. From a layout standpoint, you're not doing anything that would require frames here. It can all be done with standard HTML/CSS.

2. What happened to those spiffy image sliders that Blizzard and I made you? Just kidding. You're obviously not obligated to use them.


You're answer.
Fx doesn't like percentages larger than 100%. So, to fix it in all browsers specify a pixel amount (say, 99999px?). That should get you on the way if not fix it. I didn't do too much searching. If this doesn't work post back

Hi Medyman!

I absolutely plan on using the image sliders...I just wanted to get the layout down first...I haven't had time to work on it yet...I love the sliders!

I am completely self-taught in website making and I really have no idea the correct way to go about things, so I just basically see something I like on another site and try to copy it. So as far as frames go, I saw a site I liked and wanted to use it. I don't know the first thing about "standard HTML/CSS" -- I did read the link that you had given me previously but I had no clue!

Now, as far as the sliders go, can they be applied to the pics as they are now in the frame?

Also, changing the pixel amount fixed FF so that I get the bottom scroller...thank you! BUT the right scroller still shows up in FF...can this be eliminated?

Sorry for the long reply but thank you for your time

That's what this forum is for. Ask any questions you may have. For all practical purposes -- forgetting the technical and geeky reasons not to use frames -- it does make a difference in your search engine results...a negative difference. So, if that is important to you, you might want to change your approach.

Otherwise, there really is not practical harm in doing it with frames.

Switching to a non-frame solution in your case, wouldn't be difficult at all. It's just a matter of merging those two files into one and taking on the frameset bit. Pretty easy.

Now, as far as the sliders go, can they be applied to the pics as they are now in the frame?

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problems with that.

Sure thing...

Either apply overflow-y:hidden and define a height or apply overflow-y:visible

Medyman,

Remember, you're talking to someone who has absolutely no idea how/where to apply changes

Where would I put the "overflow" code?
