    Advice on Alignment Please

    On previewing my webpage in Internet Explorer as the default browser, all is fine. And when I preview it in Firefox, hello, its like my pants fallen off. My objects, images, text are out of alignment. The same applies when I preview it in Maxthon. I can manipulate the design to fit a particular selected browser but then, it backfires to where I started in the first place.
    And due to multiple browsers out there I did not wish to submit my site if I hadnt fixed this. What am I not doing right here.

    Cheers

    Tim.

    IE makes up 68.9% of browsers being used, Firefox about 18.8 % and is based on the Mozilla code, this may be why things don't appear as they should.

        The best thing you can do it be as specific in your code as possible. Place everything by tables. For each column specify an align and valign. Place all images in a table that has the width and height set to the exact same width and height of the pixels in the image.

        Also if you are using images within your template, like with border, or bars, use an image for the background image, not a background color. IE and Firefox sometimes interpret colors differently, so a background color may not match the image even if you are positive they are. So if you use an image as your background, they will match, even if the colors are interpreted different they won't be different shades.

        Hope that helps
