Hey, This question is actually more of a css issue than anything I believe. Hopefully that is alright, I have been posting my questions on here for a while and figure most of the rails community is probably familiar with css. My website: www.uberpwner.com displays correctly in safari and firefox, but in IE it is completely screwed. I don''t even know where to begin to fix it. Can anyone take a quick glance and let me know what might be up?

OTOH, if you''ve got your house in order, they''ll absolutely tell you how, precisely, to fix the problem. It''s an amazing list.

Check your html first. You''ve got quite a few unclosed tags and typos. View the source code in Firefox and look for anything in red.

in addition to everything that has been said already: - get the firefox-plugins "firebug" and "web-developers toolbar". they are very helpful for creating and validating html- and css-code - for internet-explorer to show your css properly try to use padding and margin as little as possible (google for "IE margin padding" and you will find a lot of people with problems). there are many ways to get this to work, but no generic solution. personallly i use transparent borders instead of padding/margin, when i encounter such a problem. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Another problem are floating elements, try switching them from left to right and switch the order they appear in the html, sometimes it will avoid IE adding a double margin. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Box models
here''s a handy IE toolbar
----------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar

I don''t consider myself a guru.
In looking at your CSS there could be a lot of cleaning up done.
Example. you declare font-family in many places.
You could make a "main.css" and do
----------------------------------------------------------------------
body {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: medium;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That way your fonts are the same and since you''re declaring it once
less to download.
You could go further and make a "type_001.css" and just declare all
your typography in it.
When you want to change you font change the file to say "type_002.css"
that way the cached css won''t be pulled and you wonder why the type
hasn''t changed.
You could do the same for:
reset (http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/)
layout (positioning)
style (colors and other eye candy)
my 2 cents
