I have been working on a site which will replace the old one.

After I had been working on getting some images to rotate, the page looked funny on the right side, when I viewed it in internet explorer, yet it looks fine in Firefox.

I am wondering if anyone can see why it would look fine in the one browser, and not in the other.

(note: the other pages look fine in IE, so I assume that something I have recently changed has caused the site to act wierd)

No wonder you are having problems.

This has been an issue between different browsers for over a decade.



There are design concepts that only work in IE, and others that only work in Mozilla engine browsers (Netscape, Firefox, Flock, etc).



The best thing to do is to detect the type of browser being used and to use a pop-up and inform people that a different browser is needed to view the page properly if they are not using IE on your page.

Internet Explorer has the option to disable image loading to allow pages to load faster. Is it possible this option is checked? To find out open Internet Explorer and:   Click Tools at the top of the Window.   Click Internet Options.     In the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab.     In the Settings under Multimedia, make sure there is a check     in the "Show Pictures" checkbox.   Click Ok and close and re-open the browser If this or the other suggestions above my post do not help, then post the code you are using to embed the image, and as someone else asked, what file type is the image.

Which version of IE are you using? If it is IE6 then that browser has multiple problems. You will have to have browser specific code by checking browser version.

Usually pages that work fine on Firefox also work fine with IE7 and above.

Weird O.o it looks fine for me, maybe its just your computer... I noticed that Firefox affects IE's performance on windows 7 so that might be your case. Try it on a different PC.

actually IE is known for not following official standards. there are quite many sites that barely work with it.

it doesn't look bad and probably will go unnoticed. i wouldn't bother with it if i were you.
