Images in Mozzila vs Internet Explorer

Tim. · Post by **Tim.** » Thu 25. Aug 2005, 12:49

Alright, my current layout works fine in Firefox: http://www.nts.clan-outlawz.info/index.php

However when the same page is viewed with Internet Explorer, the right section of the site is off by one pixel. If I counter this by moving the background for the right section by 1 pixel, it looks fine in IE, but now in Mozzila its 1 pixel off.

Is there no way around this issue?

Internet Explorer: (Messed up along right side)

Firefox: (How it should look on both)

Hi,

try to use css instead of just plain tables;
for example, put a style to your tables (div or class) and play with it.
Try to put a class in the table that calls
<td valign="top" width="61" background="/layout/rightboarder.PNG">

The 1px problem is a known issue between IE and FF (specially width), but looking at your site I can't see what the problem is in your template

Hope you'll find a solution

Cheers

I dont know if these will help or not, but here.

If you believe it might be due to my Template, I can post the code I use for that as well, however there is no code for the 'right' value.

frontend setup: css data

Code: Select all

i reduced your code. simply change the red marked value. your value was 920. (sum of green)
orange indicates more bad code.

hints:
i'd recommend you to remove all the tables but one.
the margin-tags should move into the css-file.
have a layout to your source-code. that helpes debugging a lot.

for orange do:

<td style="background-image:url(../images/index_09.jpg)">

Hah, off by one pixel. Could have sworn I counted that value to 920 at least a dozen times.

Thanks that did it.
