IE and FireFox viewing text in tables differenty. Need a fix!

[InfiniteVoid]

Hello on my page when viewed with IE the spacing between the text in
the tables is close together. When I view my page in firefox the
spacing between the text lines it very spaced out. Any way to fix this
to make it look the same on both?

Thank you for your time.

Ummmm. What do you want it to look more like, Firefox or IE.
I had a look at your HTML and realise that you are only useing 3.2, I
would suggest useing a more recent DTD, such as HTML 4.01 or if you
want to be really moddern use XHTML 1.0 Strict. Note that XHTML is not
recommended by many webmasters due to a lack of support by IE6, when
it's served in it's true form.
But, 3.2 is ainchant code I would say around 96 97 and so should be
avoided in favor of more moddern code on todays browsers, you should
also be useing Strict, but my site is still useing the transitional
DTD, but that will change when I do a re-design.
Anyway, the point is that the DTD is triggering Querks mode, probly in
both browsers as it does not validate.
Use HTML 4.01 and validate the code, then see if that fixers the
problem.

Thanks a bunch! I did what you said I changed it to 4.01 and all looks
good on both browsers. Thanks again and good luck with your redesign.

Take care.

You still have 46 HTML and 3 CSS errors. Fix them, and it will look
even better.

This document:

Images, Tables, and Mysterious Gaps
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...ysterious_Gaps

explains it all and offer solutions.

Note that tables should be used for tabular data and not to position
blocks of text in a page. I never had the problem you described and I'm
sure that those who use tables for tabular data rarely encounter that
text-align to the baseline problem.

Do you mean "read the book", or "read the website"? I followed the link,
and the website is useless without Flash. In view of that fact, I'd be
very reluctant to spend money on the book!
