I made a great looking site on i.e but it looks pretty bad on firefox. I just cannot find out why site looks so bad. especially tables look very bad and shallow. can somebody point some tutorials about optimizing sites for firefox.

thanks

Write it using valid html and it will be perfect in firefox.

I really don't know the reason but the tables just don't look good with firefox. I used validator but the thing is, after I cleared all the errors page looks terrible with i.e too. it looks same with firefox. i think the problem is with borderColorLight tags inside tables. any tutorial links will be appreciated.

i just learned that the borderColorLight is just used by i.e unfortunately. it is not supported by netscape

Hi -
Just a suggestion for the future: design FOR Firefox, then FIX for IE!
It's a notoriously bad displayer of good code ;-) .

That way, if it looks great initially, you'll know that there are no serious coding errors that you need to deal with - instead it'll be a hack or margin tweaks to get it rendering decently for the poor millions...!

Good luck,
