Mozilla web design

[waffleman]

Hey guys. I just made a website using dreamweaver and it looks perfect in Internet explorer, operah, and netscape. But when I look at it in Mozilla all the images are scooted up out of place. This is my first website so I want it to look good.

the website is on a temp server right now, thanks for some tips

Have you tried doing the page in Mozilla Composer and comparing the code?

Looks fine in My Moz 1.6 on 98
BUT
as BK eluded to - when you "Validate the HTML"
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...plettharps.com
these are the results of your coding errors - it doesn't seem like you can't fix it easily
If you think maybe your installation of Moz or FF is munged - then create a New Profile and check view again from within New profile

edit;
just thought of something else - you need to Refresh the page to see the changes if using Composer for editing

I disagree. HTML/CSS can still render different in different broswers even when its valid. Changing that design so that it validates will not fix it from "breaking" in firefox/mozilla. This is because internet explorer does not render HTML correctly (even when its valid), which leads to the designer writing the website incorrectly so that it works in ie (usually unaware that he or she is going so). Then, when firefox/mozilla renders it correctly, it doesn't come out the way they want it to.

Now, since you are unfamiliar with the huge amount of bugs in ie and how to write around them, you're going to have a hard time making a website that renders the same in both ie and firefox/mozilla, especially using dreamweaver. So you can either try to tinker with what you have to see if you can stumble upon something that will work in both browsers, or go with what you have and hope that not to many of your visitors use firefox/mozilla .
