The problem with sites that don't render correctly under Firefox is often not
down to Firefox at all. The problem is that Firefox expects the HTML
syntax to be correct, whereas IE often "corrects" minor errors before rendering.
If a site looks wrong with Firefox but correct with IE, the chances are it's
because the HTML is wrong, and the author has only tested it with IE.
I'm currently revamping my company's website, and, to date, all the issues
I've found between browsers has been down to IE not letting me see my
errors!! If I was a cynic, I might suspect that some authoring products put
such errors in on purpose.
Cheers
Dave
