View With IE -
Can anybody lend assistance on the following:
When I designed the site below I used to view
it with Netscape - today i've used Internet Explorer for the first time - and low & behold the site fonts etc. looked different -
(doh-should have done this earlier)
Now i've put the background colour in and
was wondering if anyone with IE coud go into
the "enter auction" part & see if the categories list straight down the middle of the page or just all over the place.
It may be that I need to change settings on my own browser - but i'm unsure - never used IE.
Any help appreciated

Hi Steve,
I just looked at the page in IE4 & netscape4 for comparison, the column was straight (nothing was all over the place) but was farther to the left in IE then in Netscape. It is different but doesn't look like a "mistake". There was enough space between the columns to look like it could have been set that way. I have similar allignment problems with the site I made in Netscape. I really wish those two companies would get it together "together" for the sake of the internet!!!

Many thanks for your replies - I have centered the list as mentioned in the above.
I agree with carolyn - Netscape & Microsoft
need to get together and draw up a common
language - and that is likely to happen - not! Ah well we'll just have to plod on
Thanks again - your help has been well appreciated! This FREE help is invaluable!
Regards
Steve.

Just an observation and probably is better in another topic somewhere (sorry JP, consider my hand slapped!). Think you're better off designing initially in NS and then IE. If you design in IE, you might be surprised by what happens in your tables when viewed in NS. Guess what I'm saying is that IE is more forgiving. Particularly with a table that has a lot of merged cells. (colspan)

cds,
Am I that strict that I have you all trembling!
Your comment is not at all off topic, I just get annoyed when I see 'what affiliate program should I join posts' in the CGI forum!
IE is indeed more lenient with HTML than Netscape.
