# Browser issue – Google Chrome looking different?

 * I realize all browsers treat the look of websites differently, however, I’m wondering
   if there’s something simple I don’t know about. I’m just now starting to set 
   up a new website. I’m specifically looking at a block in the header to the right
   of my slide show. It says “10 Quick Safety Tips…” It looks fine in IE and Firefox
   but it’s overlapping in Chrome and looks bad. Do I somehow play around with this
   to try to make it OK in Chrome and thus make it possibly look weird in the other
   two? What do the “professionals” do? 🙂 [My link.](http://www.wayneplush.com)

 * Having valid markup is the first step towards having a design that displays consistently
   across all browsers. Currently, you have 31 markup errors. Fixing them may resolve
   the situation. If it doesn’t, it’ll at least be easier to troubleshoot.

 * Thank you for that. I had a widget in the footer that was causing most of those.
   I’m left with 5 errors but I’m not finding them in the locations that the validator
   says they are in. Is it normal that it will read a few errors erroneously? Or
   am I just not seeing them?
 * I still see my issue in the Google Chrome browser with the text and picture overlapping
   in the header block. Any other ideas? [My link.](http://www.wayneplush.com)

 * Try it again, but this time with the source code showing in the results. It will
   help you locate the errors, which appear to be in the footer area, but caused
   by a lack of corresponding opening tags. Use this link:

 * Maybe my issue isn’t really something fixable? I just had a friend look in her
   Chrome browser and she told me that the key that I spoke of in my initial question
   is not overlapping the text on her screen. Maybe it’s the way a site appears 
   on different size screens?
 * I do also wonder why my text appears on two lines in Chrome when it’s only on
   one line in IE and Firefox. Is this something that I should bother with or is
   it not worth the struggle?
