IE makes my website look ugly

[AbYsMaL_-_WaRT]

Why does Internet explorer make my website look ugly, Is it because I need to upgrade IE. need help here.

If u are having problems using IE dont use it.My internet browser is Mozilla Firefox but if you want to keep on using IE try see if u can install any new plugins

[AbYsMaL_-_WaRT]

I use Firefox and it works great, I also use opera, but my problem is, I am making a website and when I preview It in IE it looks like shiza, and what concerns me is 90% of all people use it.

Glad to hear the reason i use mozilla firefoz the most is because has better security and i think its faster and got a better interface then internet explorer

[Mister Chief]

[AbYsMaL_-_WaRT]

Now all he has to do is convince every single person who visits his site to switch to Firefox.

Firefox is actually less secure. Only reason people think it's more secure is because hackers write viruses and trojans to exploit IE as it's the most used browser.

@ OP: have you tried viewing it in IE7 or IE6?

A link to the site might also help.

Do you use .css for styling your page? IE, FF and Opera all intepret it different and its a pain to get it to look the same on all browsers. If you do use CSS, try googling for IE hacks.

Its best to make your page with Fire fox as it has great css suppport while IE isnt uptodate with css and a few things arent supported. Like the min-height property. In FF it works like its supposed to, but in IE, to get the result of min-height you'd have to use _height: or height:. Oh and i find that if you build your page in FF, it should look right in most browsers IE included. Its much easier to fix a few problems in IE later with IE conditionals.

example

<!--[if IE]>
some css here that will only apply to an IE browser
<![endif]-->

Oh and no using tables for layout!

Are you talking about a website you created yourself? If you are, use Dreamweaver.

'Flash' being the program. 'MX' being the version.

Its also quite possibly the most pirated software, after Photoshop of course.

Everthing less secure if you get tons of people on it. Linux can be just has ****ty as windows if everyone stated useing it,The PSP is a prime example of this ver 1.5 was very secure and would have stayed secured if all the psp dident want home brew. Face it if geeks and hacker make it, they can brake it to.

But FIrefox because it open source can be rewritten to be even more secure if people take the time to do it .

I am re naming all the images this may take awhile...

either way that is some pretty bad layout. I mean you could have made those images flow a little better. One tip: Try to make them all one size and not have some giganto images and some tiny ones like the ones on the side... Oh and fix the menu bar. It appears that one side of it has margins and the other doesnt... Haha, and its funny how your covering up the Go daddy add at the top with that banner... Just make your layout look better..

part of your problem is the crap in the internal style sheets specifically the absolute positioning and z-indexes.. you didnt really need to use it. Heh, and that font tag is deprecated, you can just use a style sheet at the TOP of the page (Internal). I wouldnt do what you did which was use those Inline styles... And the z-indexes is whats causeing the images to stand on top of each other. fix that and take them away. oh and i wouldnt use all the javascript to swap images... that can be done with css...not all browsers have javascript so they wouldnt see it anyway. Like me, i browse with javascript off all the time.
