Hi - I have a problem with my website. I had a client come to me and say my website appeared all broken up and I asked what browser he had and he said Firefox. I use IE and there is no problem, but I install Firefox to see what the problem was and the site is all messy, the images are all over and stuff.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Not without looking at the site.

What's the URL?

Just learn this - if it looks 'right' in IE, chances are pretty good it's going to be broken in Firefox, Opera, Safari and other browsers who are far more standards compliant that IE.

NEVER design a site for the web for just ONE browser.

the site is : www.charliearchibald.co.uk

Have you created your website using photoshop or an equivalent program?
If so check the slices. That might help.

Wow, you weren't kidding. It is a mess in Firefox!

Simply put, the reason that your page doesn't render correctly in FF is because the code for it is a complete and utter mess.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottish-studio.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doct ype=Inline&group=0

A validator can't even get through it because it hasn't got a doctype declared for it!

Not only that, your layout is tabular and breaks even the most basic rules of accessibility. You don't use proper alt attributes (lots of spacer gifs), you've got fixed font sizes going on, you're using a grey that is hard to read, and my favorite alt attribute:

 alt="** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **"

Not only that, why's this site in a frame? It makes no sense.

You just grabbed a copy of Dr*amw*av*r and put something together that looked pretty on your screen as quickly as you possibly could, and now you're finding out what happens when you do that.

You're better off redoing this site from scratch than trying to fix the myriad of errors that you've created, but before you do, really learn about things like accessibility (font sizing, alt attributes, etc.) and the joys of tableless layouts.

Harsh but fair I think. I must say I agree with ADAM. If you make a website, from the start, standards compliant everything works a whole lot easier.

Harsh? Me? Now that hurts.

Talk about a Halloween fright - that code is scary ! I do believe it's the product of using ImageReady to slice and spit out it's usual garbage code.

One other thing to add, you should NOT use the <embed> tag for Flash, it causes some IE users real headaches. There's a sticky at the top of the HTML forum that lists many alternative methods.
