Site Fine in IE- Problems in Firefox! - 6/3/2005 11:43:45 Did not help I added: <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" width="880" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" height="2902" style="border-collapse: collapse"> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center" width="112" height="24" bgcolor="#808000"> (in reply to bobby)

Site Fine in IE- Problems in Firefox! - 6/3/2005 12:11:37 Instead of mixing % and pixels... try noting all widths in pixels... So instead of 100% you would use "728" Instead of 10% use "73px" or something close... I'm guessing that the nested tables and combination of % and px may be part of the cause... You might also want to remove all of the style="border-collapse: collapse" and see if that helps..? _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to a5950)

Site Fine in IE- Problems in Firefox! - 6/3/2005 14:36:37 changed all sizes to pixels and removed style="border-collapse: collapse" problem not resolved. Can you read the code and figure it out pleeeze :) I don't know what to do (in reply to a5950)

Looking more closely at the whole source code it looks like you have several tables above your <head> Make sure that your <head> appears directly under the <html> tag and before the <body> tag... all of the table HTML code that is above your <head> needs to be moved into the body. Start there... if that doesn't work, try not nesting the tables (one inside the other) Use one table for the whole layout and see if that changes the way it's processing. (Getting the page structure right - with the <head> and <body> in the right order should help) _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to a5950)

I have a different copy and it didn't have tables above the head and it STILL previewed in Firefox that way. The site evolved over time. I'm not sure how to identify which tables are inside other tables. Sorry. Can you give a few hints? Can you tell HOW MANY tables I have to remove and insert into other tables? Am I in for a marathon weekend or does it look doable in a few hours? :)) (in reply to a5950)

Site Fine in IE- Problems in Firefox! - 6/3/2005 16:00:33 LOL No problem... that's why we're here Instead of using a table within a table, or multiple tables stacked on top of each other... create on large table and pub the Google ads in the top, your header in a row below that, then split the next row for your side by side columns... etc. This way you have only one single table to worry about... The problem becomes not only nested tables (which can cause issues ) but also multiple tables and dimensions that all have to try to work together... While IE can be more forgiving of this, Firefox and other browsers stick pretty close to the W3C standards, so you have to make sure everything is done right. With only one table (using multiple formatted rows to hold your content) you'll only have one table and one set of dimensions to work out... _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to a5950)
