    Resolved Bad rendering in IE/Firefox

    Can anyone look at this page and tell me how I can make it render well i both Firefox and IE? The problem is the menu, and the bottom line, the menu is a pixel or 2 to far up, and the bottom line is a pixel or 2 to far down... This is in Firefox however, in IE it renders fine. If I change the values a bit, it(obviously) renders as it should in firefox, but not in IE ... The page is targeted mainstream businesses, but I'd like it to be compatible with both Mosaic and Gecko, seeing Gecko is owning more than 10 per cent of the browser market atm.

    Thanks in advance.

    Oh, I almost forgot, page link:

    I can see no difference in the display. Is this something you measured with screenshots or something you visually observed (e.g. lines didn't meet properly)?

    In the former case, ignore it. Pixel-perfect rendering is a useless illusion.

    This is going to sound weird, by try setting the height of #backnblack to 610px;

    Setting it to 606 solved the bottom bar problems... interesting...

    And CornedBee, it's something I can see visually, when you click one of the big images, a submenu appears just below... In FireFox it overlaps the big images a bit, which really annoys me .

    Oh, I see.

    Hmm, I think you'd have it easier if you had one div around it all (or use the body for that) and apply the dead-center technique to that. The way you have it now, with every div having a negative margin, is very confusing.

    Hmm, interesting... Why didn't I think of that? I gotta rewrite a lot of stuff though.

    Thanks to both of you!

    FYI, you've got problems in Opera too. The e1/e2/etc. part sits high enough to overlap the border on the blocks above it.

    That's the same problem as in Gecko
