Maybe you should duck out of this conversation .. the astronaut is supposed to be in the main body text, NOT in the menu, IE is trying to render the image in the menu and it's not supposed to be there.

I checked this site out with both IE and Firefox, notice that in the left hand navigatiopn area, there is a background image of the astronaut but in firefox there is only one. The IE version seems to tile the background image

Attahching the pics.

EDIT: Bifta beat me too it, so if anyone is very piccy on what people double up on, I am sorry

Look I like Firefox because it actually makes my site load and look better.I'm not really into the coding just the imagery.

No one else has to use it, I'm not advocating that they should.I was saying two advantages I have discovered for myself.However IE still has more functionality than Firefox for the average home computer user so it maybe a while before it replaces IE altogether.

However I still hate Netscape.

Incog.

I take it your site is meant for only you to look at then? What with 90% of people still using IE

Of course not.However I can't help it if IE doesn't show it the way I set it up in Namo Web Editor now can I? I check it in IE and it looks the way I set it up but it doesn't seem to translate the way I intended when viewed online in IE. You aren't losing out by much anyway.It's just the coloured frames around the images that are missing.I also like the way the images slowly come into focus in Firefox.But that's just my personal liking.In IE they just unfold from top to bottom.

Anyway I can't see why you are having a pop at me about a site you probably don't care about anyway.

Thought you worshipped IE?

I'm not having a pop at you, get that chip off your shoulder.

All I said was is that it's possible to get it to render exactly what you need in IE (apart from the slow image rendering in firefox)

I don't worship anything, but what has that got to do with this topic anyway?

Chip on my shoulder? I'm not in this p*ssing contest.I merely mentioned something I'd found to like in this browser and you come in all commando about it.If there is talk to be made about chips on shoulders......

It actually presents my website the way I want it to be seen.It even puts in the frames for the pictures that IE WILL NOT show despite any effort from me

and I said

Not sure what you mean by "frames", could you expand a little? I have absolutely no doubt that if the site was written using mainly compliant CSS it'd look just fine in every browser.

If you're too pig headed to actually accept any help to have your site showing as your want it to in every browser then more fool you, I won't bother wasting my time.

I don't code.I already stated that.I use an editor to achieve what I want.The differences are infinitesimal so I really don't see why you have such a beef about it.I'm sorry if I misread what you were saying and that you were trying to help me.I just never picked up on that.All I got was your antagonism to Firefox and anyone who uses it.

Ahem ... ladies and gentlemen ... can we play nicely please.

You don't need to code as such, but there are still bits people can learn and learning is good.

For example (and this is fairly self explanatory) you can put a border around images in the source code using something like

<img src="whateverimage.jpg" style="border-left:5px solid red; border-right:5px solid red; border-top:5px solid red; border-bottom:5px solid red;">

5px = 5 pixels width, solid = style of the border (you can use dotted, dashed etc) and red is self explanatory.

Obviously it's a bit of a pain to do this for every image so you could add this between the <head> tags of your document (if it hasn't got any style tags)

<style type="text/css">
.pictureborder {
border-left:5px solid red;
border-right:5px solid red;
border-top:5px solid red;
border-bottom:5px solid red;
}
</style>

Then, all you need to add is the class to your <img> tags, for example

<img src="whateverpicture.jpg" class="pictureborder">

Not only is it better security wise, but it also crashes a far lot less than Internet Explorer and is also a lot more helpful (Thankyou to whoever invented tabbed browsing).
Whenever I open the forums on here I always open the posts in new tabs. Its so much faster.

Good to have another Firefox user onboard.

Erm, Firefox wasn't the first browser to use Tabbed Browsing.. Opera has had it since about version 1...

It's probably the most hyped though..

Or just
.pictureborder {
border: 5px solid red;
}
