Does anybody know why firefox is not working with my pages correctly when online. I have just had clients for www.ukcheataz.co.uk & www.richel.co.uk come back to me saying firefox is not displaying their webpages properley.

Sure enough when i navigate to those locations they do not look right in firefox but when i tested them on my sandbox server they worked fine!

Whats more if i save the pages in IE and load them into firefox they look exactly the same in firefox as IE.

Is this a server isssue or is firefox just even more useless than i already thought

    What I see is you used absolute positioning, and at smaller window sizes, the elements overlap

      yeah that is their addsense bar that the clients wanted in however im talking about the the main site on www.ukcheataz.co.uk having something weird going on between the table rows and on richel.co.uk the background does not work which is very weir as it has been implemented in css. it seems very strange to me that firefox cannot view these pages properley and actually has different outputted code than ie has and im really not sure why

        Richel.co.uk does not have background because you have syntax error in the line:

        font: normal 8pt/13pt verdana, arial,sans-serif;

        And there is a handful of CSS errors in Ukcheatz.

        To see them yourself, Click Tools->Javascript Console in FireFox, clear it and reload your sites.

          Well, if you're promising to deliver XHTML1.0 Transitional, you should deliver XHTML1.0 Transitional....

          Since the W3C CSS validator refuses to check the CSS of your site directly:
          http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richel.co.uk%2F

          It's necessary to upload the CSS file by hand, whereupon it reports this error:

          Line: 11 Context : body

          Invalid number : background Too many values or values are not recognized : #337fc6 url("../images/bg.gif") top 185px repeat-y

          Probably because of the use of "top" instead of "0px".

          These sorts of errors are common if you develop using IE to check that everything "looks right". Its CSS support has never worked right, and is looking increasingly rusty. But to be fair, I haven't seen what your site looks like on that many different clients. Maybe it is only Firefox that is that determined to stick to the letter of the law. Perhaps using a service like http://www.browsercam.com/default.aspx would help you in future?

            thank you to everyone very much. I guessed as much with ukcheataz however i have still told my client that it was a minor technical problem on the site and had no clue about richel.co.uk but thank you again and hopefully this time i will learn a lesson
