Web browser differences

[jimmys]

I've recently created a website which, when viewed in IE6 is fine, but when viewed in the IE7 browser, the images appear to be all over each other.

When I created the site with MS Expression Web, I had to work blindly as the images were all over each other, but when I previewed it in Firefox, it was fine.

Anybody know a good trick to make my website compatible with all browsers?

Thanks

Jim

Ah, if only life were that simple. If you Google "browser compatibility", you will find that you need all sorts of browser-specific kludges.
I'm not very familiar with Expression Web, but as it's essentially a generator, I'd be surprised if it didn't have some settings somewhere to tweak (most generators can be set for max standards compliance (and which standard), max compatibility, and most points in between.)

Yea, people get paid a lot of money to make websites appear the same in all major browsers.

It's far from an easy task.

IE6 has pretty poor compatability with the W3C standards, compared to IE7 and especially the likes of Firefox, Opera and Safari.

First thing to try, which may work, is to make sure the doctype is set to HTML4 strict. These lines appear at the very top of your website (in the source code); there may well be an option in Expression Web to choose this too.
