Website designers... need help!

I was wondering if anyone can help solve my little problem.

I'm using 90secondwebsite to design my site and it's basically done. The only problem is that it doesn't look the same in Firefox as it does in IE. When I preview it in 90secondwebsite, it looks the same as it does in IE after I publish it. The problem is the spacing between my main text and two or three of my headlines.

For example, in firefox, it looks like this:

This is my main text where I sell my product. Continue talking about benefits and how my strategies are going to solve your problems.



Main text continues here and spacing is just like what is seen here.

Now here's what the same thing looks like in IE:

This is my main text where I sell my product. Continue talking about benefits and how my strategies are going to solve your problems.

  • If you could post the code, I'll be able to give you a hand.

    I assume your code is something like this...

    <p>text here</p>
    <h1></h1>

    ... but it's hard to give advice if I can't see what's happening under the bonnet.

    • Thanks for the reply. Here's a snippet of the code around one of my headlines:

      THIS IS IT!!&nbsp; ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE FINALLY SOLVED....</font></div>
      <div id="wb_Text8" style="position:absolute;left:100px;top:3663px;wid th:601px;height:44px;z-index:11" align="center">
      <font style="font-size:24px" color="#FF0000" face="Trebuchet MS"><b>&quot;How I Became an Internet Dating MASTER!&quot;<br>
      </b></font></div>
      <div id="wb_Text9" style="position:absolute;left:100px;top:3732px;wid th:601px;height:1163px;z-index:12" align="left">
      <font style="font-size:16px" color="#000000" face="Arial">From that point on I decided I was going to make it my MISSION IN LIFE to MASTER Internet Dating!&nbsp; Never again would I have to approach women on the street and make a fool of myself! <br>
  • What is your URL? The markup that the software creates is horrible. Sorry to say that. If you send the URL my way it will be easier for me to get a better look at the markup.
  • Christopher,

    I believe that the use of absolute positioning is causing the two browsers to place the items differently on the screen. I do not have a good suggestion for you other than to remove all of the absolute left and top values that are in the markup.

    • Do you mean remove certain tags in the code or is this something I have to do in the website builder?

  • You can't just remove tags in the code. You'll blow up your page. It's a little hard (impossible?) to tell what's going on with the snippet you provided. Post a link or PM Creadiv with it to let him(?) take a look.
  • Aronya,

    Not sure how much you know html/css you know, but he did just that and it is a little complex without really rewriting the whole thing.. Every element on the page is placed with an style of absolute positioning which unless they are done perfectly will often cause alignment issues between the two browsers.

    I don't really have the time to go through the entire document, so I am very sorry if I have started something I cannot finish. But there are some really good designers on here that can help as well and may know a hack that I don't that could fix it quickly.

    Christoper if you don't get anybody that can do it quickly let me know and I will try to find some time to sit down and help you figure the whole thing out.

    Adam

    • Thanks Adam,

      I'll play around with it on the website builder.
    • I know enough to know that using CSS for layout gives me headaches... Why do you think I volunteered YOU instead of raising my own hand?!!!

      I agree with Yikes. Especially about the beer.
