Code validates but still a problem

[babushka]

Hello, I'm new to this stuff. I validated my code with w3 validator and it passes. But it still looks wrong in firefox (1.06). Plus firefox isn't displaying the flash. Even though few people who come to the site, use that browser, I would still like it to work. Any ideas? Is there a ide I should use instead of frontpage that will eliminate these issues? thanks

Unfortunately, URL dropping isn't allowed in this forum under the TOS, to prevent covert advertising.

You may be better off taking your problem to the "Web Development / Standards Evangelism" section of the MozillaZine forums, who will be able to help you with your specific problem.

While the URL's still here, though, you're doing some seriously bizarre stuff on that page. You've stacked up paragraphs up as if they were table cells, applied negative margins, and you're mixing <font> and CSS.

Some general advice:
* Check out the Firefox DOM Inspector.
* Move to a strict DOCTYPE.
* Covert those stacked paragraphs into a single paragraph, using margins and padding as required to obtain the desired effect.
* Get rid of the table -- in strict mode, you can achieve the same effect without that table.

Thanks for your reply.

I was using layers which is what I think causing the problems.

I check out your suggetions.
