Hey new member here, I joined because I am having a couple of probs with my site, one of them being this FF issue. Tried the space removal idea, no difference. Other than eliminating pop-ups, I'm so far not impressed with FF and have gone back to IE. I think I'd rather put up with a few popups in order to see a website they way its creator intended. Any other ideas to fix though?
Also, where should I post a question about why my site looks totally scambled on some systems and perfect on others. Its like my site it too big & pages are layered on top each other . Is there a way in dreamwever to size my site so it fit everyones (or most peoples)computer screens? My website is www.rainierpacificinsurance.com if anyone wants to see it and give an opinion. Thanks so much for the advise, glad there is a place like this to come to. Sac

I split your post from the other thread, to keep your replies separate from the original poster of the other thread.

A common misconception that people have about browsers and whether or not the page displays correctly is that it's the browser's fault.

While some sites "break" in IE or Firefox, it is 90% due to improper code. Mozilla, Opera, Safari, among others, adhere to the W3C standards. IE has its own proprietary tags, and is more forgiving when reading and rendering code.

If a closing tag is missing, IE will assume that this is where your tag should go, and displays the page anyway. This allows html coders to get sloppy. If a site doesn't render properly, 9 times out of 10, it's not the browser itself, but code behind the site.

With regards to your page, what are specific problems you are having in Firefox vs. IE? One thing I notice is that you're using frames, and my browser window is set to 800x600, so your frames scroll. It looks like the site was designed for 1024x768.

Yeah, 1024x768 is correct. I've never designed a sight before, I built it using the screen I was looking at & that was comfortable. I don't have any scrollers on my screen at 1024x768 I switched to 800x600 and wow! What settings do most use? Specific problem in FF? Top of left frame you'll see the edge of some words, you can click it and it tries to open up the "Privacy Policy" in the frame. The link to "Privacy Policy" is on the bottom of the frame to the right. Why is it doing that?
Thank for your prompt response. Sac

The privacy policy link shows up because this code is actually in that frame (way down at the bottom).

<font size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="privacypolicy.htm"><font color="#6633FF">Our 
Privacy Policy Statement</font></a></font>

And, since it's surrounded by a <div> tag with layer attributes, it gets set behind the other layers. It shows up in firefox because there is a margin, either on the <frameset> or on the top layer (didn't look deeply into it) that renders in firefox, but not in IE.

Take out that line of code, that that'll solve that problem.

Removed the code, saved and reloaded the page with server. Its still there. . . nutz! Also have a prob with my links in the left frame, they have all gotten pushed down, 2 are off the page completely. Problem on bottom of frame to the right too, words are running over each other, some sentences have been lowered, some are raised. I removed the spaces in code, but no difference. I have only checked two pages afraid to see what the other 50 look like. Maybe Firefox could do SOME things more like IE in this regard, beats the heck out of trying to fix your entire site just to make it look good on their browser. Thank you for your suggestions. I will keep trying Sac

I don't see the privacy link anymore. Maybe you just need to clear your cache and do a refresh.

The reason your links in the left frame get pushed off the screen in 800x600 is that it's simply too long for the browser window. Without enabling scrolling on that frame, they will always get pushed off the screen.

A good reason to get away from frames. Either that, or enable scrolling...but there's so much scrolling already.
