mozilla and netscape problems

[misfitelias]

My website works fine under internet explorer but under mozilla and ns it is very ugly. Is there a script which can detect which browser it is and automaticly lead the surfer to other more convienient pages?

instead of leading the user to yet another poorly developed website, why not visit

http://validator.w3.org/

and

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

to make sure your code isn't broken (which it most likely is, if it's displaying differently in different browsers).

*we* should stress that just because something works in IE doesn't mean it's necessarily properly coded.

IE let's the HTML coder get away with murder. It interprets missed tags etc in it's own way and "fills in the blanks" where the coder has missed things.

This, obviously, is undesirable as it removes the control away from the coder/designer and into the hands of a faceless drone at Microsoft.

Firefox, Netscape, Opera (although none of them perfect) are MUCH less forgiving than IE, so your errors show up.

Coding to web standards and using the W3C validator to check your code goes a long way to making sure it's going to work as YOU, the coder/designer want it to work.

1. You are using IE only opacity effects. You can do the same thing in Moz based browsers quite simply. You just need to include both methods in the CSS.

2. height is never going to work. To do this, place the text in a wrapper div and apply the background to the wrapper. Then place another div after the text, but also in the wrapper and set it to clear:both; This will force the height of the wrapper down around the text.

wow, tnx for helpin me out, it became better. but how do i put the opacity effects for mozilla based browsers in?

 

[misfitelias]

I tried the two:
-moz-opacity: .5;
opacity: .5;

But they did not work in my firefox browser?????

My memory is rusty, but try something like

opacity:0.5;				
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
