Hi MATTXtwo,

Welcome to the incredibly annoying world of developing websites across multiple browsers!

The problem is that IE does not follow the rules of mark up correctly unlike other browsers such as FireFox and Opera which do. This is why when you develop your site in IE it can sometimes look different in these other browsers. The thing to remember is that you should get it looking as you want in a browser other than IE because that means your mark up is more likely to be correct. You can check that your html is correct by using the w3 markup validator - http://validator.w3.org/.

If your page looks correct in FireFox or Opera and not in IE then that is because of bugs in IE - check out this for details and workarounds of these.

If you have any specific problems with any of this then I suggest that you post your markup and details of the problem in the HTML/CSS Forum where the experts are familiar with these issues.

Hope this helps,

Dr B

Thanks DrB...how about i want to test my page that based on ie to validate for the other browser...and another links maybe coz got involve with adodb thing

I'd suggest the first thing that you do is get the source code of the page generated by your ASP code and use the w3 validator link that I posted to check for any errors.

Once you've corrected these you should try to run the page in both IE and say FireFox and see if there are any layout differences. If there are then check the links to the IE bugs to see if any of them might be the problem or ask in the HTML/CSS Forum.

The most important thing to remember is that the page SHOULD look pretty much perfect in FireFox - always check it in there as well as IE when you are developing.
