CSS: Is there a quick fix?

Hi!

I have asked this question to amny people and have got totally different answers, so I will ask here instead of my ‘expert’ friends.

I have a website that uses css, particularly for positioning, it works perfectly in Internet Explorer but looks totally messed up in Navigator.

I have tried placing the styles inline rather than calling them from an external .css file with some success but the Navigator pages still look horrible compared to the IE ones.

Is there an easy solution to this or do I have to go through all 40 pages and find styles for each element that look okay in both browsers? What is the secret to success here, how do people develop sites that look okay in both browsers?

You help, time and patience for this newbie are greatly appreciated!

David

I am using IE6 and Nav 7.2

@ray326Sep 21.2004 — Ok, in that case there's one thing you can pretty much count on. Nav is displaying it more correctly than IE. I suspect you don't have a complete and valid doctype on the pages. Once you've done that you may find IE starting to look a lot more like Nav. It's the only way to work with different browsers and maintain some semblance of your sanity.

Success!
