FF2 and IE

[GoodAndy]

I'm currently working on a project called UT Infinity. A hosting service to the UT fans out there. It's not just hosting though, it's also a place for actually distributing your files. I'm not very far along. I'd say maybe less than a month before a public alpha/beta release. But let me get to the point. It seems I am having problems with the layout to look the same in both Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7. I don't like IE. So basically I just want to know who here uses what so I can make sure it looks right for the majority. I might be able to fix it, but I don't know. I could of course use JavaScript to check what browser, but that's complicated and I don't want a big script loaded on every page because that'd be a lot of bandwidth (in addition to my image heavy layout).

vBulletin support forums should be able to help with your problem. For crying out loud, it isn't rocket science making a vB forum look and work the same in both browsers. It will be to yours and your users' benefit to ensure cross-browser compatibility. Honestly, if you are going to all the trouble of setting up such a website, why not make it accessible to a larger user base?

Am I missing something here, or is your site a vBulletin forum? Is there anything else? Tbh, the skin you are using is a default skin, is it not?

IE7 (with some "Pro" add-on though, makes it more FF-like), since I totally overloaded FF with plugins and **** which makes it by far slower than IE. :P Also my FF has problems with gifs and other minor issues which is quite annoying. :/

I am having problems with the layout to look the same in both Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7.

As long as w3c 's not gonna come down from their horses, use <table 's.

I looked at the layout, seems doable with <div's and float/clear/position/top../margin/padding attributes.

No I'm programming a whole web site from scratch. :P And those forums are only a place for me to post progress. They were originally going to be UT Infinity. I have been designing web sites for years so I know what I'm doing. I've got awards to prove it. :P But I'm having the weirdest problem with some images hopping around.

I always use tables because divs don't like me. So I just stay away knowing that one day I'll have to use them again. I'm really trying my best on making it cross-platform (just like every site I've ever designed) but IE wants crappy code instead of the w3c standard it seems. I'm not getting any errors nor warnings for my layout.

Edit:
I found the problem. lol
