Martyn is on a distinguished road

  Old  Browser Trouble

My website Cool As Fire the site displays differently on every browser.

This is very inconvienient when im trying to build a website.

Here is what the same page looks like in 3 different browsers:

IE:
http://www.martyn.x3hosting.info/ie.JPG

Firefox:
http://www.martyn.x3hosting.info/firefox.JPG

Opera:
http://www.martyn.x3hosting.info/opera.JPG

As you can see they are all different, I want it to look like the Firefox one, but for some reason it looks different in each.

Can anyone help or have any recomendations? (it will be greatly appreciated).

Thanks!

what you are trying to achive can easily be done by using tables alone (and that's what you did), the bad part is that you used absolute position to position your tables causing the errors of layout in different browsers.

To go work you layout again without using absolute position...

Thanks for the help, but one question. Will it still look the same without absolute positioning?

Thanks

It will, as long as you code it correctly.

Okay basicaly. In order to get the same result (or as close as you can), you need to use tables and nto CSS to place your layout. Because each browser renders it differently. make sure you set widths and heights in the table, you might have to do duplicate things to make sure each browser gets it right. I don't have an example atm, but I'm sure that helps.
