Myspace div layout question: Why does my page look different when i use firefox?

i have a single column layout and some of my divs are disappear when i use firefox...i was just curious why that happens and maybe someone can offer me some advice to make it work for both internet explorer and firefox , Thanks! =)



Myspace div layout question: Why does my page look different when i use firefox?

This happens because Firefox is not fully compatible with the page you're viewing. The layout you're using , uses the code which works in IE but causes display problems in Firefox.



If you're not able to view all components of a webpage, in Firefox click on View %26gt; Page style %26gt; No style. What this does is, it just shows a page using the basic HTML layout However as you'll see, the page now looks very different .



So what i'd really suggest you is to get the extension 'IE tab' for firefox.Once you install that extension , simply put the myspace URL in that extension so that it'll be one of the sites that'll open within firefox but will use the IE's engine. I'll walk you through it.



Click here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox... for the IE tab extension



Once you're on the page, click 'install now (windows)' ...follow steps to install. At the end it'll prompt you to restart firefox.



Now click Tools %26gt;Add-ons %26gt; Extensions %26gt; click on IE tab extension %26gt; click options . Now in the URL, enter http://myspace.com and click 'add'. now click 'ok' to close to box. From now on, always myspace.com will open with IE's engine . If you want a certain page to look like how it does in IE, then instead of the entire myspace URL, just put in your own page's URL there. What this extension basically does is, it lets you change the rendering engine for a webpage. If you don't want to enter any URL there, then you can also click the mozilla firefox icon in the bottom right of the window to switch to the IE rendering engine for the page you're viewing after installing this extension.



That's it
