Problems between Mozilla 1.4 and IE6

Take a look at these two images. They are both using the same code yet
see the differences? What would cause that and how to make them both
look like the IE6 page?

declare which character encoding you would like browsers to use

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...2Findex.ht ml

then revisit the validator and fix the errors. till you do that your page
is forcing browsers to guess what to do.


Fixed the encoding and all the errors but the amibigous "already defined"

errors for my id's "dkred_14" and "description". How to get rid of those? Use
in-line styles?

Still exhibits the problem...

here's the mozilla screenshot:

Mr. Clean pounced upon this pigeonhole and pronounced:

At first, I thought this was a one-page web site. (Why would a business
site be only one page?)

Then, in the source, I found your JavaScript menu. Do you realize that
with such a menu you will be losing about 20% of your visitors? Including
that most important googlebot? Use HTML so we can all see it.

Firebird, no js, no popups, W2k.

no, use class

Still exhibits the problem...

#banner {
background:#f0e0c8;
height:181px;
border:3px solid #996633;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
height:39px;
width: 586px;
}
html>body #banner {
height:39px;
}

you appear to be serving IE a height of 181px and Moz a height of 39px

check in Opera too.

Tried that, loses all the styles in IE for sure.

Currently working on CSS alternative to the JS rollovers.

Just what I've read in these various groups. Some say 10%, some say 20%...
This page says 13% for July 03.

All of the charts on this page are followed by the usual disclaimers.

So, losing 13% of visitors is not a good idea. <g>

An id tag can only be used *ONCE* per page, not like you do now with
your <p = id"description">.

So, you will have to start using classes for the <p>.
