Author Firefox Viewing Problem

Hello,


Is it possible to change the ccs just for firefox?



My webpage looks normal when viewing it with IE or Opera, but with
Firefox the text in one area is lowered for some reason.


Any help would be appreciated.

Of course, but I'm not going to tell you how because that's almost
certainly the wrong thing to do.

What's "normal" ? Given the overwhelming likelihood of such things,
Firefox is rendering it correctly and IE is wrong. This might well be
what you _want_, but it's not what you asked for. The fix is to start
asking for the right thing (i.e. coding it properly) rather than trying
to break your code to match how IE is broken.

Opera usually gets things right, but without a URL we can't tell.

Good places to start fixing this are by validating your HTML and your
CSS, then by using the right doctype to make sure it's rendering in
standards mode not quirks mode. Then you can start looking up specific
IE faults to see if it's one of those.

So would a URL.
