IE & Firefox

[UKBenC]

I dont know much about php but I have noticed alot of differences between IE and Firefox on my website. For example in firefox the banner on the bottom of my shop works fine but in IE it doesnt, there is also the search box at the top right....in Firefox its off to the left and in IE its off to the right.

 

What is the reason for this and how can it be fixed? I would like to just be able to write it all for use in firefox but im afraid some customers will only have IE and the site wont work properly for them

 

the url to my shop is www.bc-computers.co.uk

 

any feedback would be appriciated :)

I have seen several posters here in the last few days complain about this, and they have one thing in common...they have all purchased templates from some place. By the look of your site, have you done the same?

 

I can only see the reason as being that such templates have poorly configured css. But also the soure files can be coded poorly, for example on your banner which you refer to, I can see on the source code:

 

<td align="center" class="footer" width="468" height="60" <a href="http://www.bwbd-hosting.co.uk/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=138_0_1_5"> <img src="images/bwbdbanner.jpg" alt="" /></td>

 

the opening <td> is missing the closing '>'. Also, get rid of the blank space between the <a href> reference and the <img> reference

 

You really gotta tidy up the code to create some sort of similarity.

 

Also, the manufacturers dropdown and search field are not the same size and not aligned correctly. The both have different style tags, and the latter is aligned center whilst the former doesnt have any alignment stated.

Yeah ive got the template from a store.

 

I guess I will have to muddle through the files trying to learn php and tidying it up I just wasnt sure what it was, thanks for clearing that up and thanks for the tip with the banner I'll change that this evening.
