[thegrrl]

Ok I have a layout I made, that looks fine on Firefox and on IE but i have talked to at least 3 other people who all see it differently. They sent me screenshot which i will include for you to see my problem. Basically I want this layout to be viewable by IE and Firefox, I do appreciate that help, I will be happy to give a little something for the generous help. I really would like this completed not half done ^^

website is: **D*A*I*N*T*Y*S*T*A*R*.*C*O*M***

Ok below will be screenshots.

Firefox (what i see)


IE7 (what i see)


IE ( think its 6 from the way the ie icon top left corner looks like, a friend
sent me this)


IE 6 (sent by a different friend)


Well you can see my problem. I'd like to get some help to postion this layout so that it looks pretty much the same on all browsers, IE and FF being the two most used browsers, Gosh i would be so grateful.

Thanks in advance.

IE 6 is not built on latest CSS standards. If I'm not wrong, you should be using <div> tags to achieve this. You may try adding a master <div> every element, specifying the height and width of the master <div> somewhere in the CSS. Try as much R&D possible.that will resolve the problem.

I have been using divs if you looked at my source. As for master divs i have no idea what you are talking about it would be nice if you put down some kind of examples for me to see what you are talking about. As for R&D what is that? I appreciate you helping, but this still left me in the same position, not knowing how to fix my problems, sorry I am not css savvy like you ^^

thnx for the help i really do appreciate it

The problem with today's webpages is that you cannot make them compatible with all types of browsers. If you use tables you'll have page 'defects' on browsers that don't support tables. If you use divs its the other way around. Anyways, there is a fix, but unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to teach you, instead I can give you a suggestion .

You can ask a professional coder to create multiple cascade style sheets for each browser. What I mean is, whenever a user that is using IE6, accesses your site, the site script detects that and it automatically redirects the IE6 browser to its specified css.

As I said, its possible, but it's time consuming and it takes a lot of patience.

This is the link to the website : **D*A*I*N*T*Y*S*T*A*R*.*C*O*M***

On a quick glance, I noticed this:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url("styleIE.css");</style>

@import url is supposedly does not completely support for IE 6 or lower. IE 6 have the issue of media designation

I shall suggest to try coding with the conventional way,

<link href="http://daintystar.com/styleIE.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Let's see if this solves the issue.

P.S. I use Linux/FireFox and the site was appearing perfectly fine.

@ enzo thanks I thought about that but don't know where to find such a person, but maybe I'll post here to see if anyone does that. Do you know of a website that can has tutorials on that?


@ prashrb sorry i didn't realize that the url wasnt in my original post, but i edited that and also here it is **D*A*I*N*T*Y*S*T*A*R*.*C*O*M***


Thanks to both of you for being so helpful ^^

did you try his suggestion, using the HTML 4 method of importing the cascade style sheet?
Do it asap... and provide further feedback.. and congrats to prashrb for noticing that!
