Just wondering if there is code i can put in my HTML that will tell what ever Browsers are being used to view as the same as all. Like im viewing in Chrome it looks fine then I open up IE and it is all messed up.
Any help is appreciated thanks

Re: Cross Browser???
That's IE for you. Things will look the same in most standards-compliant browsers. Your best bet is probably to specify an IE-only style sheet.
Code: Select all
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" etc... />
<![endif]-->Re: Cross Browser???
where do I put that code???? and what else do i put in that code???
Re: Cross Browser???
Put it in the document head. Treat it like you would any other style sheet.

What do i put in the .css file?????? im lost
Re: Cross Browser???
To be honest, I would say IE9 could be considered a "modern-browser". Sure it doesn't have all the bells & whistles, but it's close enough now to be considered modern in my opinion.
~ebgames56 Your first step should be to check if your HTML & CSS validate. IE can hardly be blamed if you're not giving it valid code.
If you do need to specify IE-only CSS, the line ~Celauran gave you should be placed in the <head> of your HTML, AFTER the <link> line that links to your regular stylesheet.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
Re: Cross Browser???
Also I suggest using a stylesheet that resets most of the elements for easier cross-browsing. Use blueprint for example.
Something like this:
But usually you also need a specific stylesheet for IE.
Something like this:
