Hey guys I was in need of a little help.

This is my first real whack at desiging using the power that is CSS.
I have been looking at the site through Mozilla Firefox and Safari and it looks perfect. But then comes the issues with IE. I can't for the life of me figure out
how to make both pages look remotely the same. If anyone could help me out by looking it over and telling me what i need to do I would greatly apprciate it. Thanks a million.

here's the site

It looks exactly the same on both IE and Firefox. Are you sure you don't have an older version in IE cache?

Well the two things that i see that are different are stuff like the advertistement bar at the bottom in mozilla its got the giant block stroke on it in IE its just a thin one.

In mozilla the navigation is right up under the image banner in IE theres a gap

Check this: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=BoxModelHack

And IE isn't really too good with CSS, it's a pain trying to get anything to work with IE.

Thanks Yeah minus that the rest of the page works out fine. I mean the other thingis the <p> spacing is different in both browers. BUt i mean thats stuff isnt super big issues it's more along the lines that layout looks the same for IE users. Everyone should just switch, saving me the trouble. I will try that hack link and see what happens.
