Is it the alignment of your page in IE that is wrong.

 

If so try putting

 html { 
          margin: 0px;
          padding: 0px;
          }

 

at the beginning of your CSS file.

 

Hope that helps as without a link its hard to say what is wrong.

 

Also to answer your question i use both IE and Firefox during my webdesign.

I code first and foremost using correct, valid web standard code - checking it in FF initially.

 

Then I check it in IE. If it blows up in IE, I create an IE only css to fix ONLY those issues IE is having a problem with - usually paddings, margins, floats and transparent PNGs.

 

I then set an "IE conditional expression" before the close </head> tag to tell IE to use that css, like this:

 

<!--[if lt ie 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="ie-win.css" /><![endif]-->

 

So, I first code PROPERLY - checking in FF. THEN, I apply fixes for the junk browser IE.

 

There is no ignoring IE. While FF and Safari have gotten a significant increase in market share (since FF 1.0 came out), 70% of your potential audience use a form of IE.

 

I personally have to include hacks for IE 5.01 and 5.5 (@ 50 or so pcs that agents in our office use are non-upgraded WinNT!)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1429  This is the IE view add on for FF.

 

With it you can right click and select to view the page in IE.
