I really prefer FF over IE, but I am also struggling to understand the differences when designing pages. One question: Is there a limit to placing divs inside of divs? I created a div called #container, then placed another inside of it called #content, then another inside of #content called #menu. In IE, the div's appear inside of each other, but in FF the #menu box does not appear inside of the container. Instead, it floats as if it has an absolute position (which it doesn't) I will try to post an example to my site later on so that you can view the code, but was wondering if there was a limit to how many times I can place a div within a div. Thanks, _____________________________ Chris http://www.sightbysite.net

Believe me when I say that Firefox is correct. Get the layout right in that then sort IE out afterwards. If the div is floating then make sure you have sufficient </div> as that can cause odd things to happen. Check your css to make sure you have all the ; and } You can validate your code which will point out any missing items and save you a lot of headaches http://validator.w3.org/ http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to fredecd)

The pages are valid with the exeptions of missing ALT tags on two of my images. I think that I may have discovered my problem. Does FF require height specifications on each div tag? When I specified div height on the container, everything worked out well in FF. In IE, the browser automatically expanded the div height to match the content, where FF did not. Is there a way to get FF to expand a div to automatically adjust to content height, or will I need to specify in each instance? Thanks again, _____________________________ Chris http://www.sightbysite.net (in reply to jaybee)
