Mozilla works, IE doesn't

[redletterrocko]

I use Debian Linux as my operating system of choice, with Mozilla Firefox as the browser. Naturally, I found it a great browser. When I started working on my newest site, I got everything up and running locally, and then tried to transfer it over to the server. However, both Mozilla and IE had a problem compensating for the iframe with the actual content in it. It ended up pushing a an image that was set as a background for one of the cells in the table to the left 13 pixels, which is wierd, because I would have thought it would have gone to the right. Anyway, I ended up creating a nested table inside and setting up the picture that way so that the pages align. This solution works great in Firefox, but has only made the page looks worse in IE. Now, the "floating" images that sit over an iframe that contains my latest cell phone picture won't load, and neither will that last frame. My friend and I have poured over the code to try and find a solution, but to no avail. I seem to have found many other solutions here, so I was wondering if someone familiar with setting up tables in IE could help me.

Anyway.com</a> is the site, but since it's not quite done, the entry point is <a href="

so if someone could add their two cents, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I started looking at your site, but I'm allergic to pop-ups and it was beginning to bring me out in a rash. It was bad enough having to use IE.

Like the guys say, start by including a doctype and getting your page to validate. I suggest you use tables as a last resort, rather than a first - you seem to be using them for spacing and positioning where CSS would be a better alternative. In fact, you could replace the iframes as well.

Chris-

Yea, the popups were the only option I could think of. However, Your suggestion about placing images with css seems like a much better option than tables. I was actually looking for the exact syntax of placing the images in css and foung the following page. Just thought someone else would like the link.
