Hello People,

Recently, i've been looking at a few of my sites which seem to look
differently in a couple of browsers.

They all seem to look fine in IE. However in FireFox and Opera the page seems
to look different with most of the content out of place, i.e: a table
background doesn't display the correct colour and is just white, table widths
are not correct, text formatting is incorrect and borders are thick on CSS
Style sheets.

As anyone else experienced this.
Is this something that can be worked around, or is it just the instability of
the two browsers?

We all do.

No browser is 100% compliant with HTML and CSS. IE is severely lacking, with
the Mozilla browsers being a bit better. Opera has some quirks as does
Safari.

In the end, you simply have to work around them all.

Thank for that, just what i thought,

Whilst, i've got this thread open, just thought i'd ask this question to:

"the height attribute of the TABLE tag is not support [Mozilla & Netscape]"

then it highlights "height="302%"

Is the an alternate solution, This maybe the answer to why my tables look
deformed in Firefox.

Table height is invalid HTML.

Right, last thing now to sort out the layout in FireFox.

I've got two tables which look perfectly neat and how they should in IE.

But in Firefox the tables seem to have doubled in height making.
I've clicked the clear row heights from the properties bar in DW but it dont
seem to change anything.

Problem fixed, i just deleted the content, and then re-inserted it into the table.

Thanks for everyone's help during this thread.
