I thought I had got it looking all nice. I've just looked at it through Mozilla and wow, what a mess...

The top left box doesn't seem to have worked properly with the text being all huge, the middle bit is all out of line, it's all gone wrong...

Has anyone noticed this before? Or is it just me?

I need to change it straight away if it's gonna look like this on other browsers although most people use IE...

Argh!

OK, I've managed to redo the site with Mozilla in mind this time. Everything works fine so I'm happy, plus I've added a few more bits to it to make it easier to update. (I love this MySQL stuff!)

One thing I noticed that is a pain in the a*se is that when using the padding thing in CSS, IE will actually pad inside the
while Mozilla will add a padding outside it making the
bigger than what it should be. That's a real sod.

Is there a way to make Mozilla add a padding to the inside of the
and make it keep the original size and not get bigger?

Sorry, I've been away all week.

Anyway, I'm gonna have to play about with it quite a bit now. It looks absolutely crap in Mozilla, I'll have to do a lot of reading too!

Oh, and I didn't use a pagebuilder, I attempted to make it using a stylesheet and id'd
s which unfortunatly all went wrong!

Back to the drawing board...

Your doing it the wrong way around. Get it to work in Moz first, this is the mopst standards compliant browser there is, if it works in Moz, it'll work in anything!

Second suggestion... You should all ditch everything for Firebird!

Forget IE, it'll be dead after Longhorn!

But nasty code is hard to write yourself.

Handwritten code tends to work in both browsers.

I would sort out IE first. The centre table resizes depending on what link you click on down the left side (even overlapping others in the process). It overlaps terribly in lower resolutions or smaller than maximised windows. The title is stuffed full of keywords and will get you kicked off search engines and telling people to view in 1024x768 is pointless if it still looks bad.

Yeah doesn't look too brilliant with Mozilla. The links down the side are the same, they don't look too brilliant.
