I created a website a while ago to practice HTML, and spent ages getting it to look right in IE6 (this is back before I’d heard about Firefox). I was trying to keep the HTML/CSS as valid as possible (eg. using stylesheets rather than tables).
I’ve finally got round to downloading Firefox, and…. dammit….. my site looks terrible in it!! See…

My question is: Where do I go from here?
The way I see it, I have 2 options.
1) Design separate pages for Firefox and have maybe a button on each page saying “click here if you’re using Firefox”, so it transfers to the “mirror site”. Probably not the best idea.
2) Adjust the HTML so that it looks good in both IE6 and Firefox. This sounds complicated. It took me ages to get it right in IE6 – I don’t want to get it right in Firefox only to mess it up in IE6.
So, what should I do now? I assume (2) is the way to go, but where do I start? If you look at my site with IE6, will I actually be able to keep it looking this way, but have it looking identical in Firefox?
Thanks for reading this!
PS. Any criticism of website design gratefully accepted, but only if you give me tips on what I should do to change it! (Bear in mind I did this entirely in notepad).
