Hey well i was coding this in dreamweaver and everything looked fine in design view, i uploaded it to my server and it was bad in Internet Explorer but good in Firefox.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

I am talking about the big black box under the banner.

I only had a few moments to look at it but that is pretty strange. If you want my opinion, for now a quick fix could be to use some javascript (or your choice) to tell it to check for which browser is requesting the page and then if it's IE to not display that box. Sorry for the quick and dirty reply but I have to go now. Hope you figure it out. Eventually you will

in the same situation in a rush atm, but a quick suggestion, have a look at coding with divs, will make your life so much easier and save you so much time!

Coding with divs? Ack! Code with CSS and a bit of semantic (x)HTML!

Now what's unclear to me is whether you using the whole WYSIWYG features (using like Insert->Table) or if you were coding the site yourself and just previewing it in Design View.

In either case... run the page through the HTML and CSS validators. Fix ALL errors and then check to see how the site looks in both. When I validated the HTML, it came up with 106 errors.

Here's the secret checklist of what to do when your site doesn't look the same in IE and Firefox.

[1] Does it validate?
[2] Are you using a proprietary element/attribute/selector/property?

divs are far far more efficient combined with css

Your picture is inside the table (<tr>) including the items on the left ending above "Donations" and pulling the entire table row down. You are showing the background color.

When debuging tables and divs, change the color of the background to something entirely different (orange) and see what changes. Turn on table borders and give unique borders to divs to see their placement.

Agreed with ya there Deastwood.

Divs are a lifestyle when coding validated CSS and Xhtml.

Divitis FTL. There's validating mark-up and there's using semantic mark-up (which inherits valid mark-up).

Regardless, there's nothing wrong with using divs, especially when those divs are used for major components, and not used to stylize the content, when that content should be using semantic coding.
