Mamoon,

You really must check this site out in Firefox, apart from the navigation it just doesn't work! All of the content is below the fold and you've got to scroll to find it. I haven't got time just now so will leave it to someone else to spot the problem.

Good luck.

OK, I've eaten!

Actually you're wrong about the browser share because IE6 is used by 67.5%, IE5 by 6.0%, Ffox by 19.6% (and rising v.quickly), Moz by 2.6%, NN7 by 0.4%, Opera8 by 1.2%, and O7 by 0.2%. The sites I maintain all have figures very close to this. The max for all IEs combined being 75%.

You have declared your DOCTYPE as 4.01 Transitional but have actually used XHTML. That may well cause problems for the unforgiving Ffox.

I cannot STAND to hear developers rip on FF.

Do some research about web standards compliance.

Develop in firefox to W3 standards, and then fix for IE...

Do you personally use IE??? Just because that's what the masses use, doesn't make it any good. It's junk in my opinion.

Mamoon,

You are never going to escape this compliance issue. All of the decent browsers render this site differently to IE. IE has never been compliant. As a designer you should be celebrating the emergence of standards compliant browsers. At last we can get on with creating sites that look like we intended instead of spending hours and hours trying to fix browser bugs.

How would your customers respond if you told them that you'd finished their site but that only 70% of the optimal audience could use it? There really is no point stamping your foot and burying your head in the mud. I suggest you follow ran_dizolph's sound advice. I also suggest that you stop using FrontPage. Talking of percentages, amongst professional developers/designers you must be in a tiny minority still using that truly awful program.

You are going to have to face the fact that you, aided and abetted by Microshaft, have made errors in your CSS and page. I'm sure most of us have been in similar positions in our careers...the best thing is to take good advice, gen up and get better. A quick look at your CSS suggests you should focus on positioning. Also, amongst others, your meta tags are not closed properly (/>) and several of your image tags are also missing closures ( />).

Again, good luck.

I've been trying to solve your 'layout' problems because I'm on the same learning curve too. I'm nearly there and will email it to you when I'm done. I've got everything in the correct place, just trying to make it elastic in the event of text-resize. In the meantime the following links may be helpful to you;
