How do you all feel about this? I'm currently developing a website that looks fine in firefox, but looks sloppy in IE (aka divs dropping, text dropping down, etc.).
Do you guys feel that it is MUST to have a website work in BOTH IE and Firefox?
Yes, and if you make it work properly in Firefox, chances are pretty good it will also work properly in Opera and Safari and other standards-compliant browsers.

I find it's easiest to start with standards compliant code, and then write in the tweaks for individual browsers. If your code is 100% standards compliant (check out http://validator.w3.org/) then it will work fine in Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc... 99% of the time. It will look fine in IE about 90% of the time. Both may need some minor adjustments though. It is definetely easiest to write standards compliant at the start though, or else you have to stop and look at your site in every possible browser the entire time your developing. If you ignore standards and develop for just a single browser, you're going to be kicking yourself at the end.

Yes it's a must to have it looking respectable for all audiences. But until IE can catch up to firefox, opera, and safari, there are gonna be a million web people complaining about this topic. See link...
