Hi, i have recently amended my template and all looks well in IE. Here is a page with a table that looks fine when viewed in IE.
But when viewed in Firefox it looks awful, the table is not correct and i have a vertical line running down the page under the table. this vertical line was showing in IE before i (thought i )removed it - but it still shows in Firefox which i dont understand.
All Firebug plugin for Firefox doesnt give me any errors which is strange.
Can any Firefox fans help?

why drewactual? what are you seeing that i am not?
i am presuming there is an error in the html code somewhere. i just dont understand where. also i dont understand why IE can display the page and firefox cannot.
sorry if im missing something obvious.

i extrapolated from what you had said you did alter the code at one point.
it is a common mistake not to clear your browser cache when checking out those changes.. I do it too sometimes and I am pretty careful.. anyway, if you changed something often times your browser remembers and loads what it saved.. you sometimes have to clear it to see the most current version..
as far as your issue is concerned, i would trust ff over ie any day.. it renders more strictly if you would, the 'letter' of the css or html- where as ie often goes with the 'spirit'.. Do you understand what i mean by that?
i haven't even looked at your page.. give me a few and i will get back with you...

thanks for taking an interest. yes, thanks i understand what you say re difference between IE and FF. personally i like the sound of what IE does. but perhaps thats because it displays my page correctly!
what is very wierd is that each time i refresh the page in FF the cells in the table move around but never in the right place. so i never actually get the same result twice. isnt that strange? i always get the correct table showing in IE.
heres a link to the page again
does anyone else see what i see?

Well, when I reload the page it changes once and then stays that way in FF. It looks to me like it is the way you are writing the data from the db. Or is this static HTML?
If you are pulling data from a db, many people don't loop thru the data correctly. If it is just static HTML then I would have to take another look at the code. So, which is it, static or dynamic?

Yeah, it really looks like you are trying to loop thru either a recordset or some data like that (XML file maybe?) and the looping is done incorrectly. I would say we would have to see the actual code to see how it is building that page to actually be of help. Or, I could be way off base, but I hope not, coding each of those manually would be annoying.

ive managed to work out the error is coming from the css file used in wp-table plugin. i know this as when i select not to use the wp-table css file the table displays correctly in FF. however, and of course!, i want to use the wp-table css file as i like how it looks.
does anyone know how i go about finding the error in the css file?
PS. the w3c validator is still showing the same errors as before so i know its nothing to do with those errors.
