Default Internet Explorer = Annoying

Hi, I run my school's band forums( www.westmontmusic.org) and it seems to work fine with Firefox, but there are a few alignment problems with Internet Explorer. Can someone tell me how I could fix this, without having to tell everyone to convert a much better browser?

every browsers different. You may have to change some **** around to make it compatible with both browsers.

This might help:

Step 1: Install Nvu
Step 2: Open up the HTML file within Nvu, which will fix up your code (add all the brackets, closing tags, etc.)
Step 3: Save the changes to your code.

If this doesn't help, let me know.

I agree...IE sucks when it comes to alignment. I am having a probelm with my site centering something. Looks perfect in Firefox, but not in IE. GRRRR :mad:

You need to make a background layer centered and positioned relative. Then you must make the normal layer inside of it.

<center>
<div id=Holder> (relative)
<div id=Page content></div>(absolute within the Holder)
</div>
</center>

relative positioning will inherit the <center> tag

For left postioning:

<div align="left">
<div id=Holder>
<div id=Page Content></div>
</div>
</div>

I tried this and it didn't change anything. What I find strange is that the main problem occurs only on dynamic pages and everything seems fine on a static page.

Edit: I didn't see the other posts, I'll try the validation...
