Well, you should use css to determine the size of each section or contact your webdesigner and if you are designing it by yourself than click on this link http://www.search-this.com/2007/03/12/no-margin-for-error/

Never never never use FrontPage or Dreamweaver or any of those web design programs to design a website. They are meant to make things look great in IE and dont put any consideration into Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari etc... You will probably have to re-design your site from scratch, testing each change in Firefox. You'll then probably run into some instances where things look good in Firefox but not IE (because IE is gay). Its all trial and error, but I always design using Firefox.

That is correct. Tables look different in Firefox and IE. Also in Opera, Safari, and the other browsers on the market. Welcome to the wonderful world of web design.
Common tricks for dealing with this is to specifically define all tables in pixels, not percents (FF and IE calculate percets differently). Or to use a 1x1 pixel picture the color of your background. Place it at the very top of the table, and then resize it. If you want the table to by 400 pixels wide, you make the picture 1x400. It forces the table to stay in place.
Finally, many designers make different versions of their pages for different browsers. Do a search for "javascript to detect browser" and you will find several free program that allow your page to detect what browser is being used, and then load a different version of the page that works with that browser.

i've got observed this too!!! 8-o WTF! in my opinion, I choose FireFox, and that's all i take advantage of - yet i think as a internet dressmaker you should think of approximately what human beings vacationing your web page are using - not all people makes use of the comparable browser you do. i think that is basically the way the browser engine is coded. They use distinctive mechanisms. For that rely... I guess Google Chrome will seem distinctive too. i've got in no way attempted that one, so do not understand.

Ah - Microsoft! That is why you see in a lot web pages - "This site best viewed with Internet Explorer."
