No, it means it might look different in IE because, well, IE sucks. You have to spend extra time making it work in IE. If you are using IE and it works, then it should work in all other browsers. Just incase, check here:

usually most stuff works in IE and not other browsers, but ie is crappy for all that spyware and stuff. mozilla is probably the most useful

oic- so IE is internet explorer- how do you know if thats what you have?

Do you click the big blue E when you want to go to on the internet

Some of codes arent valid, according to the W3C, and wont display in broswers like FF or Netscape. Some codes only work on IE, like for example, colored scroll bars and if divs arent posititioned properly, the site wont be displayed properly in browsers like FF and Netscape. (the latter being from what I seen). For your site to be viewed properly in most browsers, its a good idea to run your coding through a validator, to see if your coding is valid.

Yes, but also, IE displays correct pages incorrectly that would work in FF, Netscape, Opera, or other non IE browsers. For instance, IE doesn't support .png transparancy, so on my forum, when using Firefox, the post symbol is transparent, but on IE, you see blue around it.

^ yeah but 9 times out of 10 it's the other way round, you have to code 'extra hard' to make things work in Firefox, because IE is way more forgiving and allows dodgy code.

KeLs - Look at the top of this window where it says Lissa explains it all.....at the end, if you are using internet explorer, it will say
- Microsoft Internet Explorer

If you use Firefox it will say at the end
- Mozilla Firefox

The best way to make sure your code works in both browsers is to make sure you code well, then check it in both....download whichever one it is you dont currently have...you can have more than one installed on your computer.
