I was wondering if someone could help me out with my profile. I coded it in Firefox with the Web Developer Toolbar and it looks fine on my side, but when I open it in IE it completely fails.

D:

Any suggestions as to how I could remedy this or why this is caused? I was thinking that it might have to do with the margin tags I used to position stuff, but then that still leaves the question why some things position right relative to each other, others don't and yet others disappear under other sections.

Thanks in advance!

Heh, I use web developer too! It happens because IE renders css differently compared to other browsers. I put this block of code in the body, html, navigation, and columns' sections (but you can put it in more sections too) :

border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px;

And for good measure I also use this:

li, li , li {background-color: transparent; border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px;}

Hope these codes helped a little.

Ah, I see! So basically, I just reset the values. I figured that was what caused the problem with IE, it always seems to have some other opinion of what a certain measure should be.

Thanks for the help! I'm not able to try them right now, because I'm testing something out that needs my CSS to be empty, but I will do so afterwards!

Your profile is blank right now, so I can't check anything, but don't forget that in IE, any margins/padding get added on to the overall width of things, so it might mess up your alignments. :)

I didn't know that it -added- to the margins, but I guess it's logical since the margin-reset helps things.

Thanks!
