Hi, Guys!

I want to adjust a fixed width of a <DIV> in
CSS. So when I give width:800px; in
Internet Explore then it works and when I write
same code in Firefox, it does not work and not
adjust a fixed width.

You can see the code eaxmple here:

CSS Code
#body{
width:800px;
}

HTML code
<div id="body"></div>

So 800 px width automatically fix in IE but not
in FF, So how can I fix a width of DIV in
Firefox?

Regards,

Qasim Ali.

Not sure why, but I wouldn't use "body" as ID name.

Try to use "wrapper" or "page" instead.

If it doesn't work, maybe other code in the HTML or CSS created the problem.

Hi, Laler!

I tried other names as well in place of body (as an ID) but do
not work. Now what can be the problem?

You will have seen in many sites like http://cricinfo.com and
http://bbc.com that their <DIV> make same layout in all
Browsers. But I don't know how?

Regards,

Qasim Ali.
