Answer 1

did you validate your html to make sure it's free of any errors in your code?

Answer 2

Because you have everything inside a paragraph tag, and you have a bunch of pointless P's with a single non-breaking space in them. The P tag is for one very specific purpose - a paragraph of text. Nothing else. Do not use it in any situation except to break up blocks of text within a content area.



You also have your entire page inside a table, which is completely pointless and asking for trouble. Use divs instead.



IE definitely has its problems, but the reason your page is not working is because your markup is semantically and structurally plain wrong. IE will have no problems displaying your layout if you do it correctly. You need to redo it using methods that haven't been out of date for 10 years.

Answer 3

Internet Explorer/ Safari :)

Answer 4

While most browsers may measure the "width" and "height" as just the size of the "contents" (inside the padding, border, and margins) IE measures the "width" and "height" as the area outside the "border" plus "padding" - troublesome, no? Look up the cited reference for solutions.

Answer 5

IE does not follow the www3 standard as closely as the others. You need either to use common code, or alternative code depending on the browser.

Answer 6

depends on the html. some codes are read in certain ones. IE sucks... to make a long story short

Answer 7

Looks fine to me and I'm on IE.



It's likely IE being retarded. There's a reason why so many people hate Microsoft.
