    Thumbs down Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Browser compatibility issues!!

    I've been tweaking a little, and something in the code is screwing up the appearance in Firefox. It looks "OK" the way I currently have it in IE, but in Firefox, not.

    I'm using yahoo stores editor. I am very limited in what I can do with the code - yahoo stores puts in most of the code. This is fine for the most part as I don't want to get into coding the whole friggin store - more interested in selling.

    Anyway, if you've looked at my page in IE and Firefox, you already see the problem. The logo and header text shoots off to the right in Firefox, but centers just fine in IE. WTF?

    I am given a small field in which to enter text/code for the header area, and I've tried using css position:absolute/relative, tried using tables, and both come out looking funky in one way or another.

    Can anybody make any suggestions here?

    If you look at my source, here's the part I'm having trouble with (note that the part in bold is what the yahoo store software inserts, and I can't remove or change that - I CAN insert code into the head tags if necessary):

    <br class="clear" /><h3 id="brandmark"><a href="index.html" title=" "> </a></h3><strong id="slogan"><table width="747" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="147">
    <tr><td align="left" valign="middle"><a href="index.html"><img src="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-74777450670486/Bridgettes-stripper-clothes-shoes.gif" border="0" alt="stripper clothes and shoes" title=" stripper clothes and shoes "></a>
    </td>
    <td align="right" valign="middle"><font color="#A75183"><h3><b>Bridgette's Stripper Clothes and Shoes<br>run for strippers,<br>BY a stripper</b></font>
    </td>
    </tr></table></strong>

    How to make my header work in both IE and Firefox???

    Ok, on this computer I'm on IE6 and Firefox 2. So on IE6, the header pic/text are centered but off to the right in Firefox.

    I can't check it out on IE7 atm. In any case, I need to figure out how to make this work on Firefox, IE6 and IE7 at least.

    Meh. I changed my editor settings to let the store software do its thing and quit trying to insert my own code.

    It just looks funny in IE6 now - the header text is below and to the right of the logo image, and the whole header area is bigger, moving everything else further down the page.

    I guess this is better though - it looks ok in both the newest browsers. Apparently I just can't fiddle with the code too much because of the limitations of the store editor. Blah.

    If anybody else has any better ideas, I'd be happy to try it. But for now I guess I'll just have to leave it. Can't figure out how to make inserted code (other than the absolute SIMPLEST stuff) work within the store-generated code so that it'll work in IE6.

    ^^That is a webring code which I can't change or I'll get booted from the webring. Every site on the ring has broken pics, and it's been that way for a long time. I don't know why the ring owner doesn't fix it.
