CSS problems (IE vs Firefox)

[galaxy1307]

I've made some modifications to an existing template which I picked up at http://www.openwebdesign.org. I'm struggling with displaying the site in a correct way at Internet Explorer. It's fine at Firefox, but with IE it displays the site differently.

Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

IE and Firefox render certain elements and CSS differently. You're going to have to play around with either the structure of youre page or CSS. I recommend downloading some plugins for Firefox, namely ietab and firebug. IEtab will let you switch firefoxes rendering to IE so you can easily switch back and forth between the two and note your changes. Firebug is good for analyzing the elements on your page. You can actually change the CSS and watch the changes to the page happen on the fly. IE has a similar feature with the developer toolbar.

If you're still can't get them to look the same try making a separate style sheet for IE, http://css-tricks.com/how-to-create-an-ie-only-stylesheet/. It's not the best way to go about it but if it works than great.

Best of luck hope this helps.

what version of IE are you having issues with?

I looked at your site in FF 3.6 and IE8 and they render the same.

Conditional Statements

You'll probably need to use conditional statements and fix it that way.
