As a website designer... i face a huge problem...

I make a website. I use FF. Looks and works great. I go in IE and it looks like shit.....:@. Is there anyone to easily fix this problem without making one site for ie and one for ff??
 
It's because browsers render things differently, some are more standards compliant, there are many different ways to do things depending on what you're doing, it depends what the problem is as to the workaround.
 
Nice to speak to you again Matt :p.

Well, I am trying to start up a nice little radio website just for fun. I use FireFox because I have so many issues with IE7. The website looks great, and I also use ajax, and java, and what not within the website. Visit the site with Firefox, looks nice.

I then tested it with IE7 due to some friends giving me some hints, the text was screwed, the ajax/java didn't work, and more.

I really do not want my website to only look nice in one browser and shit in another. So i really need a solution to this :(.
 
AJAX Browser Support
That link might help, IE (being the pain that it is) uses an ActiveXObject instead of an XMLHttpRequest.

As far as a the design goes - you've got a lot more to think about than just IE and Firefox.
Opera? Safari? Just because they're less popular browsers doesn't mean they're not important.
Also make sure it's all Valid markup - that's the first place to start when creating a valid cross-browser website.

But like I said - I can't help with the problems unless I know what they are - divs not lining up / positioning properly? Strange spaces / gaps?
Perhaps post the code and if I get time I'll take a look through it.
 
Well, i dont use full css cause i wanna be able to use tables that are side by side. And I am new to css so I don't know how to do it exactly.

But here is the url is you want to check it out: Rebellion Radio Intro
 
Right, well tables are a bad idea when making a layout, it's more accessible and 'proper' to use divs and CSS. Tables are still useful, for tabular data.

It's also more correct to place all styling in the CSS section of your document or in your CSS file.
 
Trust me, if I could, I would lol. But I have problems with CSS so i gave up for now on it.

P.S.: I fix most of the problem, its just that the ajax/java dont work in ie still.
