my website won't display properly

[parghi22]

what do i have to do to get my site which displays exactly as i want it to in Internet Explorer to display the same way in Firefox?

i don't want to rewrite code just so it can display in firefox and then not in explorer, in fact i prefer explorer, but it looks like a lot of people like firefox and i'd like my site to display correctly for them.

help...
thanks

Validate your code and sort out the problems.

Your website throws browsers into quirk mode. When browsers are in quirks mode, you really shouldn't expect the site to look the same in any two browsers, because they throw standards out the window (especially Internet Explorer). Add a doctype with a URL and get your page to validate. Once you've done that, we'll be able to help you.

Huh?
Quirks mode in Mozilla was specifically designed to be more compatible with IE.

Quirks mode in Mozilla is specifically designed to be compatible with quirks mode in IE, which is designed to not break really old sites. The fact that there is no standard for quirks mode makes is hard for browsers to implement the same.

Quirks Mode was made so that "old-school" webpages wouldn't break when viewed in modern browsers such as Firefox, IE, Opera, or Netscape and such. Quirks Mode wasn't made so a browser will be compatible with another specific browser, whoever said that needs to be slapped upside the head.

New webpages that people code SHOULD use the Standards Mode that the browsers each have unless you have a very good reason to use Quirks Mode.

Indeed - quirks mode is not to be compatible with other browsers, but older incarnations of the same browser.

If you want compatibility, stick to standards.
