IE creating gap between tables + stopping PHP array??

I am a webmaster/designer for the website http://www.dfwapartmentshomes.com/search

The site looks great in all browsers except for IE (all versions that i know).

The problems are:
A gap between two table cells even tho the math is correct from what I see. - The gap is between the two search fields.

Two tables are "merged"? But do not act the same in other browsers - The merged cells are the small ad on the left and the Regional Map.

Last and most importantly, there is a PHP-generated list of the cities featured on this website installed underneath the text on the left starting with
Choose a Region To Search. This list will NOT show up in IE but shows perfectly in each other browser.

Can anyone help? these IE bugs are killing me lately

The FIRST thing you MUST do is put a proper DOCTYPE on your pages, otherwise IE renders in Quirks mode - and that's REALLY messy!

Thanks I put a doctype on the index.php, thanks for noticing that!

The real problems are in Search.php, which is in an iframe src in the middle, where the search fields are. For some reason it is rendering this php page weird in IE, but i EVERY OTHER BROWSER it is working just fine.

IE has my client in a STRESS MELTDOWN.

The problems are in SEARCH.PHP which is in an iframe on Dfwapartmentshomes.com/search - it is the page with the search fields.

Hello,

I personally don't feel you can design a websites that will look the same in every browser. It might help if you where to post the coding so we all can take a look at it and hopefully resolve the issue.

Not really true. While you'll never get pixel-perfect because of slight differences in browser support, you CAN achieve 99% - I do it every day

You have to have a doctype on EVERY page, not just the home page.
The table in the iframe is too wide for the space. Why are you using an iframe in the first place ?? You should also get rid of the tables for layout, that's another mess to deal with.

Agreeing with LadynRed - iFrames are NOT the way to do things. Unless there's really no way to include additional content, use something like this:
PHP Code:
<?php include('../search.php'); ?>
And also, while looking at your code I found that you have an absolutely HUGE list of meta keywords. Just to let you know, that very few search engines recognize those, if any. Take a look at this thread.

Hope it helps.

First of all I would suggest you do like LadynRed and stevej told you.

Furthermore it's really possible to make EXACT the same webpages in all browsers!!! (Only if you want to spent a lot of time watching pixel differences etc... but still it's possible) With all browsers I mean: IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3, GC, SF, OP. Just read this http://www.webmaster-talk.com/css-fo...rting-tip.html and if you still find a thing that's different it's always possible to make a css file for that specific browser and include it with an IF check

example:
Code:
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
  <style type="text/css">
    @import '../style/ie6style.css';
  </style>
<![endif]-->

Anyways an answer on your question:

First of all in IE6 I got a runtime error XD

I qoute:
Quote:
There has been a runtime error. Do you want tot start the debugger?

Rule: 42
Error: This attribute or method is not supported by the object
(hope my translation makes sense :P)

After canceling this I saw your page.. In IE7 it worked without errors but I saw your problem.

have you tried giving the buttons a margin-bottom:0; ? Cause I think IE adds his own margins for a button.... (not sure though...)
