Hello there, I'm having one of the most irritating problems known to man, concerning CSS and and my ebay auctions.

My auction renders perfectly in Mozilla Firefox, and I mean, perfectly. Not a single problem! (Why couldn't every browser be like that?), but open it up in IE and bang, it doesn't exactly feck up, but it renders differently to how I want it to look.

Anyone with Mozilla Firefox please just take a look at my auction, and then look at it under IE. There should be a difference, and I was wondering if anyone with decent enough CSS knowledge could tell me how to fix this, so they look the same in both browsers.

Thanks, And Happy Bidding!






FOr CSS to work correctly, you have to use a valid DTD and valid mark up. Your going to have to live with it though because of the EBAY DTD as a) it doesn't use one and b) it uses MSIE XML Namespaces! That'll be frontpage for you!

It's Ebay.

The code works fine otherwise.

Ebay have some CSS which obviously clashes with it.

And have you looked at your site using IE?

I thought it just consisted of the bar at the top, then I found that the rest of the page starts 100% of the way down!

Er, the "box" isn't exactly a box in IE on mine, it seems to fit the whole page...

In what way are they different? I've tried with both and they look exactly the same, bar the Place Bid button, which is a constant difference between IE and FF.
