So I'm having some trouble with my browsers. I have IE and just recently got Firefox also.
The problem is, when I use firefox to view my photography website its not what I have for the layout of my site. It shows up as an experimental layout i had before (which I no longer have up). Whereas it shows up the way its supposed to in IE.

Is there any way to fix this?

Also if anybody has both could you take a look and tell me if you see the difference?

The way its supposed to be: Centered with the title of the site above the center picture (upper right). There should also be 4 purple squares (3 in the top left corner and one in the bottom left corner). These squares are links to other sections of the site.

The way its not supposed to be: Not as centered with only the middle picture and a black squiggly design bar on each side.


Thanks.

Hmm.. That does seem to happen.. I do not know if it's a glitch with FireFox. It works good with Netscape. Keep your head up girly.

Usually it's the way the coding is done. IE has many errors in the way it parses CSS, as it hasn't been following the rules and standards put forth by the W3C. Internet Explorer if anything is the browser with the "glitch" as it hasn't been updated in a few years. When you look at a site in Firefox, that is exactly how that site is supposed to look according to the latest standards.

That's why it's so hard to make sites cross-browser compatible, because MSIE has so many little glitches that make the job a lot harder than it has to be.

I could take a look at the coding for you Stacey if you would like me to. :]

Speak the good word, Bryan :D

It looks fine for me, although I have seen many weird things happen in Firefox. Bryan's right, if anything, IE is dumb, because Mozilla browsers are always 100% compatible with the standards of the W3C.

Psst, Ishbo, Firefox is based on Netscape ;)
