Firefox vs. IE

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 01.2006

Hello!

I spend so many hours trying to solve this problems, nearly gone mad, but still unable to find the solution.

I am no very good at html, just the basic.

Hopefully you guys can help.

Here is the testing site :-

At the top right hand corner, you can see the selection menu by country, starting with “United States”

In firefox, this look fine as it appers in the same row with all the links.

But in IE, the “United States” selection menu stay at the top no matter what I do. I’ve tried valign but nothing happened.

I guess this has to do with the “form” tag I ma using for the selection menu.

Please advice. Thanks.

@knowjNov 01.2006 — IE and FF both add different amounts of padding, margin to tags and the standard margin on the body varies.

usually to solve these problems set element paddings and margins to 0 or a value of your choice.

i recommend using padding on p, h1,2,3,4 etc... unless you want it to effect its container

@drhowarddrfineNov 01.2006 — This probably is not a fix to your problem but, as a note, you will never get IE to attempt to perform like a modern browser without a proper doctype. Right now, IE is in quirks mode. See my link below. Use html4.01 strict.

If nothing else, it will help you avoid some IE problems in the future.

knowj, can you explain a little bit about your solution using padding?

do you mean the css?

I've tried to change the css padding and margin to 0 but it's still the same.

can you explain on your recommendation? what do you meant by p,h1,2,3,4 etc?

thanks.

Thanks russell, the code is good, it's working now.

By the way, I do have a problem with the left-hand side menubar("By Categories, By Banks/Issuers...)

When I try to add more items on the left-hand side menubar, the text on the right(content) will be out.

I guess it must be the css but unable to find the source of problem.

Any clue?

On the other hand, do you guys think the current position of the country selection menu on the right is a good one? Any other suggesstion for better placement?

Thanks again.

p = <p> css style would be

p{

margin:0;

padding:0;

}

h1 etc...
