I’ve had a search around and it seems i’m not the first person to run into layout problems with html in ff and ie. I’ve used tables and got some funny results, see attatchments. Firefox works fine but explorer makes it go all squiffy. The thing is, i’ve designed it in dreamweaver and it looks identical in the design mode to my firefox results. Dreamweaver has displayed html 95% the same as ie for as long as ive used it and any difference is small so I dont get it. It seems to me that IE is just having a tantrum. Any insights would be great, thanks in advance.
