Firefox Viewing Problems

    I just currently designing a personal site for myself and looks perfect in IE but when I view the site in Firefox it comes out wrong . Firefox doesnt seem to recongnise my page footer as per IE and my written text runs straight over my end page footer making the site look really poorly designed from a firefox point of view.

    Anyone know why this is.

    Are you handcoding in a text editor or are you using a WYSIWYG editor , like frontpage , frontpage is only guaranteed to work in IE ,

    Most WYSIWYG editors all lean towards one browser or another , the only way to guarantee your site looks good on all browsers is to use WW3 standards for HTML .

    Sorry was testing it on a local machine , I'll see can I upload and forward a link . I did it in Dreamweaver MX 2004 . Is there a way that I can convert the exisiting html into WW3 .

    Do you mean make it valid in the eyes of the W3C?
    You can upload a html file to the W3C HTML Validator. It your html code validates then it is more likely to work in all browsers. You can also validate your CSS file.
