How is it possible that one fairly simple website can look so ridiculously different on 3 different browsers?!?! http://oliverfoggin.dyndns.org/teaparty On Safari it works. On Firefox the links in the header drop off the bottom of the header. On IE8 it is so f*cked up that I have given up trying to work out what it's attempting to do. I think maybe it's trying to design its own website loosely based around the code I have supplied it. N.B. I didn't actually write it FOR Safari. I just wrote it using standard HTML and CSS. It seems that it's only Safari that actually bothers to use the standards in almost every tutorial. |

OK, I've fixed some of the issues on FF by removing some CSS settings (heights, etc...) Will work on the rest tonight. |

Yeah it sucks, and it gets a lot lot worse when you consider all the different versions of those browsers, which will often all render differently to each other too (particularly in the case of IE). |

I think IE 8 sets the widths of the table columns to be the width of the full size image even though the image is resized to 200ish pixels wide. Not sure how I would get around this? |

Something that I find that does help is using a default style sheet which resets (amongst other things) all the differing defaults across the browsers. It doesn't deal with everything of course, but it does help. |

OK, it now looks the same on Safari, FireFox and Chrome. I imagine that on IE it will be correct apart from the fact that the text and the tables will be left aligned instead of centre aligned. I think I've sorted the issue with the widths of the tables in IE. I've also put an "overflow: hidden;" on the div containing the image so I can now let the browser do the resizing and just crop the right edge if needed. |
