My site Firefox vs IE - argggh

Post by chaser7016 »

Im wondering why in Firefox http://www.ryanspahn.net looks more like I want it to, but in IE the mainbox is larger and the tab links are larger also.

I am aiming for the way it looks in FireFox to look the same in IE.

Thanks to any1 who can help!

Cheers, Chaser

Internet Explorer's rendering engine (Trident) has some serious issues (including 7.0).

To fix rendering errors for IE only use IECCSS. You'll basically link a specific stylesheet that overwrites the default stylesheet but is only read by IE. You can use it for any major, moderate, or minor version of IE.[/url]

@mr Jabcreations: I would be interested to take a look at IECCSS, but would you be so kind to remove that sound/popup stuff first, so I can view your site normally?

1.) It's a layer, not a popup.
2.) Those are site preferences, make a preference so you can view the site.
3.) If you read the layer you'd see you can disable audio.

I don't care how you call it. If I open a site and the first thing I see is some sort of popup and a voice starts screaming (loud, because I had the volume up) I close the site as quickly as I can. I don't care for the content anymore.

For anyone interested in Conditional comments for IE, I would advice to look at the following pages:

The official MS page

The reason the site looks different in IE (which version?) might have to do something with the way IE renders the box model or handles margins and paddings.
