Default Post FF 3.0.1 upgrade issue

my site www.lovenests.net has stopped displaying correctly in FF 3.0.1

Greatful if someone could view http://www.lovenests.net/createacc.php
in both IE7 and FF 3.0.1 and let me know what is happening to the text.

I've fallen off the edge of my knowledge ;)

This is an example of why you should always make your site standards compliant. You have 64 html errors and 17 CSS errors. As browsers change from versions to version, errors that may have snuck through in the past may not any longer.

First, always, always use a modern, standards compliant browser to initially test your markup to make sure you coded it correctly. This means do NOT use Internet Explorer since it is 10 years behind web standards. Once you are sure it looks right in Firefox, or Opera, or Safari (or Chrome now), then you can check it in IE as its quirks and bugs are well known, as are the fixes.

Second, use the W3C validators early and often to check for errors.

Many thanks for your further info. The site was fine and was checked in firefox (and others) before publishing. Do you know of any freelance programmers i could approach to sort out these problems? Make the site 'future proof' if possible. Clay

Hi again, Is the problem then with the php side of things?? (btw, where abouts in the world are you?) I thought it might just be a 'table width', issue but i'm guessing.
If you want to give me a quote for the work, i'd be grateful. Failing that i'll do as the other contributor suggests. Thanks for the all the helpful steers..
