Thread: Question on firefox

Hi there,

I just asked someone to take a look at my website and i got this message back.

Your site doesn't display properly in Firefox 1.07.

The images on the cd & tapes page and the self help books page are misplaced and cover some text up !!

As a bit of a newbie, i just wondered if this was a major problem and what i could do to rectify this?
Thanks very much
Paul

I use firefox and it looks ok.

Hi Paul, It could just be down to how their screen resolution is set. After reading many posts on the subject I think basically - you can't please all of the people all of the time - so the best you can do is please the majority which you are probably doing ok at.

Thank you both of you for your time.
I will leave it then, i just wanted to check, being new to this i suppose i get paranoid easier than others. As long as it is not a major problem thats fine.
Thank you
Paul

Well seems others are having problems now i have asked around.
I have been given the following advice but not quite sure what i need to do as i am very new to all this.
Your problem lies as UK_Site_Builder points out with your design.

Layers tend to cause a great deal of problems with a number of browsers.

I used to teach web site design and always used tables for the layout, this permitted better control over how the pages displayed is different browsers and different screen resolutions.

A further tip is to avoid fixed font sizes and to use default size with +2 for anything that you want to be displayed two points above the viewers default font size.

Would this be quite easy to do?

Thanks again
Paul

I use nothing but Firefox.... never use anything else... your site looks fine in a screen resolution of 1024x768

Hey,

Do not forget to start thinking of IE7 users. People have different settings on there and your site may look bigger sometimes etc.

i use ie6 and the only misplacement i noticed was on the book page - the name of the book sits to the left and too much above the buy now button no problems with cd page -
