Hey, I can't get my blog to show up right in Firefox. It works just fine in IE, but when I open it in firefox, it doesn't seem to want to put the tables where I set them to be. Help? You can check out my site and see what I mean: http://perfil1.tripod.com/home.html

PS: Please email me your answers!

Well, first off, this has nothing to do with CSS. The problem is with your HTML code. Lots of problems.

IE is VERY forgiving of errors in HTML. For instance, if you leave off a closing table tag (</table>) the table will be displayed. But browsers which are written to standard will not. This is good and bad. It's good in the fact that it will work for you even when you get your code wrong, but it is bad in that it allows you ta have your code wrong. Because IE has to 'guess' what you intended it is not practical to expect every browser to make the same guesses.

Ok, now for some of your errors.

1. You BODY tag comes WAY after a lot of your content. This is why there is no content in the main table at the top of the page! And it is probably causing other problems as well.

2. You are using a tag called <LEFT>. I don't believe that is a valid tag.

3. I noticed you have
tags betweeen the elements inside of a table. There should be no "COPY" in a table that is not between opening and closing TD tags (or TH).

I didn't look at every line of code, so I'm sure there are more errors. basically you need to go through every line and clean it up.

And, get rid of the ALL BLACK scrollbars. Al least give the bar a different color so users can use it!
