Hi there, got a problem with a forum we've recently had coded, our page output looks absolutely fine in Mozilla FireFox, yet in Internet Explorer the page looks entirely different. If anyone would be so kind as to view http://www.rdkleague.com/noise/122/view (In the 2 Browsers) and attempt to point me in the right direction I'd sincerely appreciate it.

Cheers.

Is it something to do with padding and spacing/margins? In one browser padding or spacing is included in the overall width (ie, you say padding=20 and width=800, then your width = 800 with 20 padding inside of it. In the other browser, you say padding=20 and width=800, then you actually have 820 - 20 padding on the outside).

Not sure which is what, but essentially i'd say one of your divs is too wide for the overall width. It has also happened to me when two divs add up to their containing divs width too..
ie if a pair of divs are (for arguements sake) width 120 and width 380 - and your overall width is 500 with those two divs nested inside, then you may see one [i]above[/i] the other instead of floating side by side.

narrow down a few divs or so, and see if it fixes itself (or similiar).
I am pretty sure that's your problem, I'm just bad at explaining things, and haven't got time to trawl through it carefully enough to try and spot it :D

Unless you use CSS hacks to get around it, you'll have better luck using HTML tables....rather than divs/CSS. And even using the hacks (And you will have to use quite a variety of them if you want it to display properly on most of the popular browsers Eg: IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, AOL...etc) it will never be 100%.

You are not cross-browser compatible!! :-P

I'm not particularly bothered if it's not 100%, but look at that compared to what it shold be (and is in Firefox).

Ceasars right, not enough browsers are fully CSS2 capable right now so that you can go ahead and use only divs - no tables.  ie is about 85% of the web right now so unless your site is not made for the open web , you will have to redo the program with tables.

show your CSS code and we can help.

I had problems with the browser bugs (IE) for a long time and now pretty good with the work arounds. It only takes a minute.

Keep with the CSS - much better than tables...

I like your graphics!!

you can also send to david&mypilot&org&&
