My website is not the same on all browsers...

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

Website rendering in Internet Explorer is a nightmare for web developers. Most experienced developers know how to code your site so that it reads the browser being used and displays itself accordingly. Also, the preference settings on an individual's computer can effect the way websites are displayed.

Just for the sake of reference, is it the Sequoia Payroll website you are having trouble with? I looked through your source code quickly and noticed some things that could cause problems.

A couple things to consider...
1) Your website uses PNG images, and from the looks of it they are causing some problems. This image format is not supported in many current web browsers, especially IE.
2) The font assignment is trying to force uses of "Footlight MT Light" which is not a global standard web font. You should stick with the basics such as Times, Georgia, Verdana, Arial.
3) While you're at it, you should also test in Safari and Opera

Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

For various browsers websites may look different anyway. Probably, you have there a wrong coding issue.

Yes..he is right.. nice post..

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

There might be plenty of reason that might be causing the problem but I think that it is the coding portion that seems to be a problem in this case. I do know of a case where the website used to appear differently in different computers.

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

some software packages validate your code and will give you tips or highlight areas in your code that will not work in all browsers. These are good places to start looking when trying to pin point those little differences. I shoot for the top browsers and dont worry about the rest. Usually IE, Firefox, chrome and safari.

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

You will even find that your site will look different across the different versions of the browsers as well. So your site might look very different from IE6 to IE7. Internet Explorer is often the 'least co-operative' from a web design point of view.
Browsershots offers a good service where you can test your site across many different browsers.
To see what are the most common browsers that people use now you can look at the W3C site. That will at least give you a good idea of what browsers you want to check as far as your site is concerned.
Your main issues will be that the different browsers treat the HTML/CSS code slightly differently causing your site to display differently. Talk to your web designer about work arounds for this.

This Problem is the people seen and as my knowledge problem in HTML design and style sheet .Cs.All Browser are run on another platfrom and your imag resolution is also imporant in website .You change in your .Cs and Set the hight and Width properly then this problem is not seen next time.

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

This is quite common. One of the best ways to counter this is to create a separate style sheet for every browser. Once you are satisfied, the way to add the stylesheet is

^^ That's quite self explanatory, but you can use google to find out more, e.g. the syntax for firefox

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

Yes, I agree with this, you should use Dreamweaver, because Dreamweaver has a little bit conflict in terms of viewing site in different web browsers. 🙂 Good luck! 🙂

Re: My website is not the same on all browsers...

Having a website look the same on different browsers has been an ongoing issue for the web designers all over the world. The reason is simple - the visualization of a website depends on many different variables such as:

The visitor's OS (operating system)

The visitor's display resolution

How the browser interprets the pag
