Firefox vs IE6 (web display)



Hi All,

I have been doing some work on a C#/VWD based application. It looks good in
IE6 but when browsed by Firefox has some problems.

The display in FF messed up as you can see (pcmfx.com).
I did try to validate my code at

http://validator.w3.org/

But the display problem is still there.

How could I fix this?

Thanks for any advice or pointers

Just because the site is valid doesn't mean it'll display the way you
want it to...

I suggest you get the site working as "static" HTML in both browsers,
and then work to make ASP.NET generate it. For help in getting the HTML
right, I suggest you ask in HTML newsgroups.

Hi Dale,

Is the yellow block content supposed to be centered horizontally?

Remove the div with the class "webSpace" and assign the class "webSpace" to
the outer-most table instead. If you keep everything else the same,
including your style sheets, it should center the table horizontally.

This simple modification worked fine in IE7 and FireFox for me. I didn't
test these mods in IE6, however.

You "fix it" by understanding the smarter developers are now using FF as
their primary browser to design and build and then use IE conditional
comments to work around all the problems with IE bugware. Think about it.
Right now you're developing sh!tty code which will display in a sh!tty
browser and then expecting it to smell like roses when using a good browser?
You got it bass ackwards ainna?

Thanks for everyone's advice.

The key issue is the component's width on each page, which must be smaller
than master page placeholder's one. It is a lot better now.

Hello Group, I am developing a web site using CSS. I have a div that has a vert scroll bar in it. The div works just fine (scroll up and down, etc).

When I look at the same page using IE 6 - my li text is larger (font size) than the text in the <ptags.
