    IE7 fix

    Hello, I've made a cool website in tables and it put it to centered div. It looks rly amazing, but the tables load s*** in Explorer, so I'm about to rebuild the main structure to DIVs.

    I have one question. How to solve the problem with explorer f***ing up all the padding tags, switches or wtf creates some own with same names like others have normal. Talking about DIV tag.

    Can someone, please, explain me how to control padding and s*** so Firefox, Chrome and IE(sh*t) will work with it? In a way so an idiot would undestand would be the most appreciated.

    Thanks in advance, hopefuly I get it fixed soon and run the website...

      Any time you use IE as your reference browser to code anything, more modern browsers like FF, Opera and Safari will struggle with it because you coded it wrong. Always, always use one of the modern browsers as your test browser. Never, ever use IE. It is 11 years behind all other in modern standards and practices.

      Without the complete markup or, preferably a link, anything else would be just a guess at the problem.

          I think I have explained the problem pretty well, instead of fixing bad words you should read it :)

          EDIT:
          Ok, I'll try to explain it from other point of view.

          Tables in all browsers load one by one, inside. And loading is smooth.
          Tables in IE7 and older preload in memmory, and if there's 20 or more pictures (or size > something) it lags for few seconds to like tens of seconds. Very annoying.

          DIVs load good everywhere, problem is with the padding. If you set padding 5px u see something else in FF and IE7. Most of my users use IE7 or IE6, about 80%.

          I have finished big website, but I can't turn it from beta to running cause of this.

              you could use conditional comments to feed IE extra CSS values.

                  Different verse, same as the first. Without a link or the complete markup, it's all a guess to what the problem is.

                  This I can guarantee you. Firefox is showing what you wrote. IE is doing it wrong. What the problem is, I can't help without the markup.
