open it in firefox, everything is nice and dandy

open it in MIE, everything shifts and spaces out

i havent tried it with opera yet or netscape, but what gives? do different web browsers read HTML differently? :confused:

cheers,

Fork.Hmm. As ever, I would validate your code (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unitrustcapital.com%2Fghost%2Fsimple.html">http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1 ... imple.html</a><!-- m -->) for a start.

That said, I see little difference viewing the page in FF2 and IE7 - or IE6 come to that. Maybe I'm missing something because I am tired. What version of IE are you using?my IE version is 6.0.2

my FF is version 1.5.0.9

however regardless of that, since this is a business website i would want to make sure it that it would load up perfectly on any computer!

here is what i see on my computer:

MIE:

FF:

interesting discovery, here is a bit of the code of the side menu:

==============================================


<td width="140" height="530" valign=top background="sidemenue.jpg">


<TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">

<tr>
<td rowspan="16" width="40"></td>
<td height="40"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="stY" bgcolor="#306090" width="96" height="20"><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"../../Offshore_Company_Formation.html">OFFSHORE COMPANY FORMATION</a>
</td>
</tr>

=====================================

in FF, if the width value in: "rowspan="16" width="40", drops below 40 (ie, 39) everything is chill and the table shifts to the side

in MIE if the value drops below 40, everything goes bonkers, above 40 and including 40 its perfectly fine!!

what gives...well i fixed whatever the hell was wrong with it

it seems MIE put a space at the top, because i pressed "ENTER" after a line of text and the closing </td> tag

i "backspaced" the </td> tag all the way back so it would touch the text line and BAM space is gone

ghey...

well, guess its all good now...
