Hi Martin,

Your tables are fine in Internet explorer. Firefox does this to a lot of pages that contain tables, personally I would not worry about it.

It is best to have your site designed for IE as the firefox users only make up a small percentage of visitors.

From the statistics on my website IE accounts for over 80% and firefox a mere 13%

The others are opera, safari and netscape.

Many of my pages do not appear correctly in firefox, but there does not seem to be much that I can do about it.

Hi there, I know it's a bit of an old thread but I would like to comment on what you posted.

1. Firefox does not do things to code that shouldn't be done, it's ususlly bad code in the first place that IE just ignores.

2. Develop Using Firefox as it is more standards compliant than IE by a long way. M/S might get closer to it in IE7 but I have my doubts. And the reason why most visitors use IE is that they are blind to the advantages of using something else.

3. You say that many of your pages do not appear correctly in Firefox and that there is not much you can do about it? Wrong, in fact if you validated your code it would show you that it has a lot of errors. See here W3C validator

To sum up, use Firefox to develop and check your pages, then check them in IE.
If you use a wysiwyg editor try and use the view/edit code option if possible, or better still, learn about coding web pages and use a text editor, there are many around that will show you the code on highlighted form and of course there is so much info on the web. And if you want to develop your skills in css subscribe to a good css forum like the one I use, CSS Creator
