    CSS to Match in IE and Mozilla

    I recently had someone create a new blog format/header/page for my blog powered by TypePad. It's form is in CSS. It looks great in IE, but it looks awful (and really tiny) in Mozilla. Is there a way I can get it to look the same in BOTH browsers? My viewers are about 50/50 between IE and Mozilla.

    My blog address is www.papercrafti nwitherica.com.

    Thank you!

    The person who created your page made an amateur's mistake of using IE as their reference browser. Never, ever trust IE to do anything right. While it may be showing what you want, Firefox is showing what was written. IE is 12 years behind all other browsers in modern methods and practices. Always, always use a modern browser (anything but IE) when creating web sites.

    Your site has 467 HTML errors and 110 CSS errors.

    The problem isn't the CSS but the use of deprecated HTML markup, using the <small> element to size text. Firefox is performing correctly while IE, of course, is not.

      I just took another look. The javascript hangs in Firefox and, apparently, is inserting HTML that is not in the original markup; the <small> element for sure.

        Thanks for the reply. What do I change the <small> to then?
