IE (Internet explorer) vs Firefox results

Luffy · #1 (**permalink**) 07-04-2007, 09:04 AM

I am trying to make a website using xhtml and css. For some reason IE is showing what I have of my page so far correctly and Firefox isn't. I know Firefox is more strict and have validated all my code.

Hear is what it looks like in firefox. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...y_Bouzy/gg.jpg

Now Ie... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7..._Bouzy/gg2.jpg

Keep in mind everything is correct except for the side navigation style content box. The only reason the banner isn't there is because it was cut out on my screen print.

(Am I coming about this wrong? I am using the div to make background image for my content boxes...I don't know.. Hear is my code)

body {

background-color: #5f656b;
font-family: Tahoma, "Arial Unicode MS", Arial, sans-serif, serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #eea103

}

/*Divs*/

#content {

height: 505px;
width: 518px;
background-image: url(images/content.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 38px;
padding-right: 38px;
padding-top: 46px;
padding-bottom: 46px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
float: right;

}

#sidebar {

height: 505px;
width: 153px;
background-image: url(images/sidebar.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 38px;
padding-right: 38px;
padding-top: 46px;
padding-bottom: 46px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 20px;

}

#navigation {

margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
border-width: 0px;

}

#banner {

border-width: 0px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;

}

#container {

width: 712px;
margin: 0px auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

#home {

width: 442px;

}

#news {

width: 442px;

}

Although the Goldfish Graphics site is up and running, I am still currently learning how to better make web sites.
Because I am still learning, all web based projects I take on now will be 50% of the price they should be. With a little patience you can have a quality web designs for half the price.
