Hi,

I have a page in my website, I use javascript and html. My problem is that my website appears different when you use different browser.

It's appearance is fine when I use windows explorer but when I use firefox, the appearace is altered.

And another thing is that javascript is not working on firefox. Is that because I need an active x for firefox?


Please help me. Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld. First, it's important to know that ActiveX components are exclusive to Internet Explorer. Other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc) do not run ActiveX. So if you have an ActiveX control on your site, you should be aware that only your IE users will see it.

As for the appearance, presentation is generally controlled with CSS, not JavaScript. So without knowing more about your specific problem, it's hard to offer any useful advice. How does it appear different in each browser? Also, if your page does not use a complete DOCTYPE, your browser might be running in Quirks mode, which can be very problematic if you're trying to get pages to look the same in multiple browsers.

More details please. :)
