Hello,

I have compatibilities problems with my site on Mozilla and Firefox. Can
anyone help?
Thanks

Some have tested the site on mozilla and firefox and told me that the layout
(mise en page) is up side down unlike IE.

this is OT but
why do people hate MS so much that they would be willing to use such
inferior web browsers??
Firefox, Mozilla, Opera are free and IMHO beta versions. If they can't see
the pages correctly it's because they chose to use crappy software just to
spite Bill G. Don't they know it's a MS world.
;-)
hehe

my poor friend had a problem with some formerly easy to visit websites most
likely caused by changes to the security settings but the brilliant DELL
tech told her to download and install Firefox. So instead of supporting the
software they sold her they told her to use another program? Now neither
works properly

You are using VML Graphics, remove these and replace with standard GIF or JPG(rgb format) images,
and then everyone will be able to view your pages correctly. VML graphics on work in IE Browsers
running under Windows.

Web developers really need to learn what will and will not work in the various browsers and version
and platforms before launching a site with various features without first testing.

Agreed absolutely. I don't think the answer is for everyone to be forced to use IE, with its continuing
security problems.

IMHO, your humble opinion is far off the mark and displays a huge amount of
ignorance and bias.

Your tone implies that free has something to do with the quality. How much
did you pay for IE? Oh wait, I forgot. IE is part of the OS, which you did
pay for.

The aforementioned browsers display HTML and have better support for current
technologies than that old dog IE, and are in fact superior, thank you.

Just because the 6-years-old IE does a better job of supporting Word crap
and MicroSoft's proprietary extensions doesn't make it a better browser.

But, I suppose you like Page Transitions too. Would you also like some
ActiveX with your web page?

[Rima Abboud]

You may be right but it doesn't solve my problem since a lot of user use
specially mozilla and firefox.
I did some testings and it appears that I only have problems with my
homepage, all other pages are more or less exact.

I need to know what's the difference with my homepage and all of the other
pages, what is the problem and how to solve it (if it's possible)

YES.

 

[KatWoman]

my "tone" was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, get it? I put a wink to emphasize
that.
Now laugh it was meant as a joke@@@@

 

[Craig Schiller]

Please.

YES.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

With Windows SP2, IE is a more secure, and when users switch to other browsers, they do not get this
added security, unless the specific browser provides it.

Personally, I have never had any security issues, and I have always used IE as my primary/default
browser from day one.

Of course, the other browsers may well not need the added security.

There seems to be alot of question about firefox. I hope you get this one
instead of starting a new thread.

This site is messed up in firefox. Fine in IE. I validated the html and css.

do you have any suggestions wher the problem is?

View your page in Code view.
You have unused <div></div> tags, and you also have div tags that are opened</Div> but
never closed.

Also, your doctype declaration is incomplete:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
which forces browsers to work in "Quirks mode"

looking at
http://marottagroup.com/index.htm
I have <div class="wrapper"> </div>
and <div class="contentwide"> </div>

those are accounted for. Below is the css.
I am not sure of the doc typy being incomplete (don't know what to do there)
I know scroll bars are not supported, but would that sqew the settings? I am
wondering if the size 650px and padding has any thing to do with it?

thanks for responding

JJ
