copied!<p>Rendering differences between Firefox and Internet Explorer are really the daily trade of everyone who designs web pages.</p> <p>You should start identifying which elements exactly cause the problem(s) and then formulate a question regarding exactly that. (or do a Google search, all those incompatibilities and how to fix them are documented somewhere on the net in some form.) </p> <p>Also, I'd recommend you download a Tool like <a href="http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IETester</a> and check out which versions of IE the site fails in. It looks pretty OK in IE8, but the inline frame looks bad in 7.</p> <p>Then, really make sure your page is <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fopentech.durhamcollege.ca%2F~intn2201%2Fbrittains%2Fchatter%2F" rel="nofollow noreferrer">valid</a>. (It probably shouldn't be XHTML, but have a HTML doctype.) This is not to conform with some rules, but because validation catches an awful lot of errors like unclosed tags that screw up the rendering. This isn't the case in your case right now, but still I'd recommend doing it.</p> <p>On the long run, these tools are going to be very helpful:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/60" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Firebug in Firefox</a> (Right-click any element on your page and choose "Inspect element..." it gives you heaps of useful information</p></li> <li><p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_Developer_Toolbar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Web Developer Toolbar in IE8</a> (press F12 to open it) that is similar to, if not as powerful, as Firebug.</p></li> </ul>
