Im having abit of trouble with browsers, my website looks fine in IE6, but when I view it in firefox it looks crap, I havent try it on any others browser apart from these two. The site is also validated.

What can I do so it looks the same in as it does in IE6, heres my link to my website (please note this site is for a massage parlor!)

Well it will probably be easier for you to get the site working correctly in Firefox then just add any little IE CSS Hacks (If necessary) to change the padding/margin problems IE has.

Start again, only checking your work in Firefox as you go along. The chances are you'll have a few little bugs in there that screw it up in IE, but those can be rectified at the end.

yes IE6 is going to be an ex-browser soon (the sooner the better). you should build your site to the latest generation browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE7) with better standards compliance and then bug-fix for the old ones

By the way, did you get any coupons for this place in return for the design work?

Also I agree, the best way to code is to test in Firefox, fix for IE later.

I would love to "pop along in", sounds very tanterlising.

A search for "tanterlising" on Google brought up this: "And now, tanterlising evanished the enemy's thoughtfullness every wagon-shed hustling, the bottomlesse will allow me to viser on my little torpedo-boat"

Sounds like the competition's got your work cut out for you.
