Div differs in (yes once again) Firefox vs IE

30 New Member
I have a problem that I know gets asked about a lot. Its how my page differs in IE vrs. Firefox. I know IE sucks, but hears whats going on.

IE... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...uzy/IEGOLD.jpg

Firefox... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...zy/FIREFOX.jpg

(Note the positioning of the text in the sidebars)

I hate the fact that my pages look sweet in Firefox, but not IE.. I don't even know what div is giving me problems I get the feeling that when I coded this I made too many divs. Should I replace some of them with classes and ids? Anyway if you know whats wrong please let me know. Just so its easyer for you to look through my code I think the problem is in

#texto

#sidebar

#sideposition

one of those divs. I am not sure though.

Hear is my CSS...

Hi, I have an report in Microsoft Access and it displays everything in the table. One column called "DECISION" in the table has either 1,2, or 3 in it. On my report it displays 1, 2, or 3.

Hello, I'm very new to CSS and still in the reference/copy/paste/edit stage, so please forgive my ignorance. I'm using CSS for my blog, and while the font size is fine in Firefox, it is illegibly small when looked at in IE. It can't even be mousewheeled to a readable size. Is there some descrepancy in how the two browsers render CSS? Can anyone please tell me how to extend or unify my stylesheet so the font shows up as the same size...

I'm a newbie when it comes to CSS and I tried to incorporate menu buttons using CSS on to our site. It works great (IMHO) in IE6, but someone emailed me that it's really crappy in FF2, so I installed Firefox and... they're right! I tried a couple of possible corrections, but it either made the Firefox worse, or messed up the IE6. Unfortunately, this is a production site so I can't mess around with it too much. Would someone look at...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
