What looks different? * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805982) * [http://www.johnmorgan.ca](http://www.johnmorgan.ca) * the positioning/colors of the titles for the pages, the sidebar is completely different, the footer doesn’t appear in Internet Explorer. * :/ * [bestbooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bestbooks/) * (@bestbooks) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805984) * There’s some tweaking that you need to do in your CSS. * Internet Explorer and Firefox handle styling differently. Well, Internet Explorer is just a pain in the neck! * You need to look at your sidebar and footer in your style.css file and play around with the settings and see what you can change to try and get IE and Firefox to look as close as possible to the same. * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805985) * Oh no 🙁 I’m barely making it as is. I’m new at CSS; my employer asked me to make this website even though I really have no idea what I’m doing…just trial and error. Thanks anyway. * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805986) * I have one more question…what is h2??? It’s everywhere in my style sheet…h1, h2, h3…and I have no idea what it means. * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805987) * …h2 is in my stylesheet for the sidebar, also. * [bestbooks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bestbooks/) * (@bestbooks) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805988) * Well, we’ve all been there. So trust me I understand. * Here’s an explanation on Headings: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headings](http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headings) * And if maintaining a blog using WordPress is going to be a part of your job description then you’d better start here: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page) * Also, use the forums to search for issues. Chances are, someone else is or has had the exact same problem as you. So it’s a good place to start. And if you still can’t figure it out, then you can post a request for help. :o) * Good luck! * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805989) * Thank you! 🙂 * [iridiax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iridiax/) * (@iridiax) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-805993) * Step one in fixing display problems, [validate and fix your code](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnmorgan.ca%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0)( yes, you have h2 tag errors).

I have no clue how to fix any of these, and I had no clue this validation thing even existed. * Thread Starter [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * (@sara1086) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-806167) * I fixed all of the errors 🙂 However, I’m still having trouble with the website viewed on IE as compared to FireFox. My footer still does not appear on IE, the page titles are still completely off (it seems the the page titles and even the page content itself is off), the colours aren’t the same for some things (titles, sidebar stuff), etc. 🙁 Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Different web-browsers’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [Firefox](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/firefox/) * [Internet Explorer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/internet-explorer/) * [web browsers](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/web-browsers/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [sara1086](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara1086/) * Last activity: [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-web-browsers/#post-806167) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
