difference between FF and IE

[navb01]

how come my page loads perfect in firefox but when I open it in ie things are moved around?

Because IE is crap.xD

Keep using Fire Fox, cause it's the best Web browser around, my opinion.

Try this to fix the IE problem, download and re-install the latest IE. Post the results.

It's a different standard as to how a given web page is displayed between the 2 web browsers, and pretty much a royal pain in the ass for web developers. More and more people now use firefox, and I would highly recommend it over IE for simple web browsing. The only reason the average person would have to use IE, would be for windows update as far as I know.

@ navb01, post your page link and I'll take a look for you

@ the topic - IE is widely known as a browser that ignores standards compliancy, and instead makes its own. FF is better at following standards. In a nutshell, you could say that IE shows pages the way it thinks they should be shown, FF shows them the way they are supposed to be shown. As a result of this problem, alot of designers are forced to ensure that the work they do is cross-browser compatible. There are alot of test browsers to help you fix the bugs that accompany legacy browsers like IE6 and IE7.

Yeah, All a browser is is an interface to the internet that reads the instructions(HTML coding) and displays what it is told too, and IE chooses to void what it should do and does what it wants to do.

FF and IE are two different browsers so of course they'll have different pages. As for the messed up IE, there may be a bug, bot or virus doing that. Download Google Chrome on your brother's computer, it's not as good as FF but better than IE

I've already explained why FF and IE display differently...
