lesham Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 My site looks fine running under IE, but some users may be using Firefox and i want to make it the same as the way it looks in IE. If you go to www.farmersofsalem.com you will see our site. It has a redirect script running so if your running Firefox, you will get directed to the same exact page, but a test copy. I cant seem to get it to look like the other. Any suggestions, help appriciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsidian Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 My first thought is that you're approaching this from the wrong direction. You'll have a much better time getting your FF page to display properly first and then modifying it to get it to work in both IE6 and IE7.

lesham Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you actually go to the website, using IE 5 or above, it looks fine. But if you go to the site using firefox, the buttons are bumped down a line, making it hard to use, and there are unwanted spaces inbetween each button but when taken out of the code, the display remains the same, my main problem is getting the buttons all on the same line and to the width of my header. I want my firefox page to look exactly as if it was viewed in IE but im having troubles getting it to that point. I use frames but that is not the area that is affected.

obsidian Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I understand what you're saying, but your direction of approach is backward. Firefox is the more compatible of the browsers, by far. With this in mind, you'll be much better off starting your CSS over again (at least for that area of your site) using compliant code that will look good in Firefox. Then, once you have that, make adjustments for IE. If you try to approach it from the other angle, I can almost guarantee you'll bang your head into more walls and spend double the time debugging.
