    Hi Lee

    First, I would like to thank you for your prompt responses

    This is my issue:

    I actually have  several DNN-powered sites like the ff:

    http://www.premierwebplatform.com/s...gardeners/

    http://encumpus.com/safesplash

    http://premierwebplatform.com/fhit

    You will notice I use image for my menu background.

    If you compare those sites in IE  and FF, in IE the menu looks fine but in FF it is messed up.

    Can you suggest anyway I can make my sites compatible for both IE and FF in terms of the menu? (granting I wanted to retain using background image)

    thanks

    Hello,

    From having a quick look at your code on: http://www.premierwebplatform.com/s...ngardeners

    There are early view elements that I would change, have a look at the code where you have entered:
    width="189";
      height="25";

    This will probably mess Firefox up as you should not use quotation marks and you should also specify the unit of measurement you are using, for instance:
    width=189px;
    height=25px;

    I would go through all of your code and change anywhere where you have used quotation marks. As a rule of thumb I always check my designs in Firefox first because Firefox tends to pick up on code mistakes whereas Internet Explorer is more forgiving and will try to display the page even though it has code mistakes.

    Thanks,

    Hi Lee

    I do test my sites in FF first..

    i actually tried using your suggestion here :

    http://ariel.premierpos.com/realm 

    instead of the quotes "", I used :

      width=187px;
      height=26px;

    but still if you check the site in FF the menus are still messed up..

    What else could be wrong?

    thanks

    Hello,

    Ok, try this. - Open your skin.css file and any of your other css files in visual web developer express - go to view / error list

    From here you will see there are 25 errors, this should help you to clean up the CSS code first and get it error free before attempting any changes.

    Thanks,
