Why do some websites look better using Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer?

Question

I use Firefox.I have a website that looks real good when using Firefox but when I click on the site with IE the images are in the wrong place and some of the text is garbled.Is there a way to make it look good using both browsers?I am just concerned about my website visitors.

Answer 1

Don't be concerned about cisitors, Mozilla is spreading like black death :) It's just newer, just think, IE 6 was launched in 2001 I guess, while Mozilla is updated almost every month. I think it's the end of IE supremacy, the guys at Microsoft are just too slow and Mozilla is at miles ahead at software research.

Answer 2

I had the same problem so what I did was found a browser that was better than both of them. It is call 'acooBrowser' It is free and you can download different faces to make it look like you want. I works with all the upgrades that Microsoft comes out with and it has upgrades of there own. You must set your own home page, and a few other things, but when you type something in the search bar, then you have all the sites that will search for you, on the right hand side of the little world, a drop down list of all the search engines.

Answer 3

It's because of the way different browsers interprete/render the pages differently. To make it worse, some HTML/Javascript codes are MSIE only, and come are FireFox only.

So try to code so that both browsers gives the same output. Or else, just stick to IE. Though I'm a 100% FireFox supporter, I believe there're more IE users.

Firefox is more standards-compliant, while Microsoft tries to invent their own standards. If you design a web site and try to do anything more than basic html, you almost have to have different pages for different browsers to make it look consistent.
