Thank you fro the reply

any other please......
This is usually a client side issue and has been around since there have been multiple browsers. The good news is that you are likely to have satisfied 75% of your users. For the others you may use a JS browser detection and redirect other users to a Mozilla/etc template or a page that reads, "you wasted your time downloading that other browser" ;)
Using panels/divs for layout with CSS is likely to make your site more cross browser friendly. MS chose not to follow the W3C standards and used their own until now. With IE 8 the user will be able to chose which standard they want to use.
Another bit of advise here is to do all you lay out with CSS (don't statically set any layout properties in your web forms) and then create different style sheets for each browser type. Then it's a matter of tweaking the css file for each browser through trial and error.
It Wont necessarily fix everything but it will get you close

With IE 8 the user will be able to chose which standard they want to use.
For real? Wow it only took them 3 Revs to finally do something about standards compliance. (I still like IE better anyway.)
As for the OP's question, use the validators at w3.org to validate all your pages and you will be really close to haveing your pages look the same.
This article states: Sanity prevails: IE8 will default to standard-compliant mode
I believe there are three modes available. Unlike many I support MS right to have their own standards, but the user should be able to choose and that's the breakthrough here. If you've developed for IE 7 or earlier, you need to display a message to change modes but at least you can get away from having templates for each :).

Have you tried IE8 Kenobewan?
I found it a bit......buggy. .....and it "breaks" my sites that work in Safari, Opera, Firefox, IE6 and IE7.
>>grumbles<<
My best recommendation is to try to follow the w3c standards and then keep tweaking your Html until it looks approximately the same in all browsers (well, as many as you want to test in).

don't forget to use browsershots to view what your webpage would look like in each browser.
Yes, there are three rendering modes IE will be in. Now, you will have to adjust to IE6. Then write adjustments for IE7. Now write adjustments for IE8. Then hope grandma knows what you mean by "switch your browser to xxx mode for IE8".
Frinny, same problem here. None of my sites displayed the same in IE8 and some navigation didn't work. Possibly because 'haslayout' is gone in IE8.
Of course all my pages work exactly the same in all other non-IE browsers because I code to W3C standards, but that's a given.
btw, the links to the devx sites are pretty much out of date and I wouldn't follow some of that.
