I've been tinkering with layouts and such, and I've noticed that, while one layout looks great on IE, it looks like crap on mozilla. Little things like positioning of tables and such. Is there a way in the HTML to say something like "if IE, show this. if Mozilla show that"? Like I said, in IE everything looks great. But in mozilla, the positioning is off by a smidge. I'm not talking about one layout, so I can't really show what's going on. it's every single layout I've tried. They're ALL off.

Can anyone help?

Well, usually when something looks great in IE...its all messed up on a bunch of other browsers :D I made my entire site using Firefox...and it looks the same in all browsers ;) Just play around with the positioning a bit until you can get it to look "okay" in all browsers ;)

If you code correctly then it will show correctly in Mozilla, so it's not the program it's the bad coding :P Learn HTML people not IEHTML :lol:

Can you suggest a website I can check out so I can learn "good" coding? :buckt:

Heheh, yes, I used to be one of those IEHTMLer's :P I hate IE with a passion now :D evil microsoft :D

well it's really learning CSS correctly. Classes and Style tags in the tags of things work well :D Just see what works and doesn't and can't really say my coding was just for ie I've tried it on mozilla and it was just fine lol

Well, there's a PHP code that can tell if the user is using IE/Mozilla and then if the person's using IE, show a different layout than the one Mozilla users have. (sorry if that didn't make sense) But there's no HTML way to do it..

where could i find that code?

I hate IE too, but everything I code seems horrible in mozilla. There's just more options in IE or something. If my code was xhtml it would be okay cross-browser, right?

You don't have to learn XHTML, but that'll help you learn how to code correctly in HTML.

My only other advice is to code in mozilla- I do that, and it shows just fine in both IE and Firefox afterwords. Then you can make tiny adjustments so it looks exactly how you want it to look in IE.

When making a site w/ FireFox you should have 100% compatibilty with all borwsers..
Good luck!!

I mostly use pixels, but have used percents as well.

And I checked out that site. Turns out, most of the code I know is XHTML. I feel so smug. Heh. =P But of course, that code is never the problem. It's always resizing and such.
