Well i have finally got the bulk of that website finished and its looking fine in FF and IE7…but its all over the place (seriously…all over the place) in IE6. I realise im a total novice when it comes to this as i started the website in XHTML 1.0 Strict…but somebody in work said it would be a better idea to use Transitional? They also said i just need to change the top of each html page… from this: \ \ \ \ to this… \ \ \ \ Is that ok to do that? Also…is there a method of checking the end-users browser and forcing them to upgrade to IE7? EDIT - I have also checked the browser compatability in Dreamweaver and the only errors are 3 “Z-Index Bugs” (Which i was told in the tutorial that i completed they were ok???) I also asked the web designer at my work about forcing a user to upgrade…she said that wasnt possible…but my mate who works with me said he has seen websites that if you dont have a specific browers - it takes you to another page? Anybody seen this…cause that would be ideal. Thanks in advance folks
