Topic: Browser Issues

How do you guys avoid browser issues with internet explorer?

For example my web page is showing white space between body and footer div tag.

In firefox it's showing normal whith NO Whitespace.

Any suggestions.........

Re: Browser Issues

It would help if we could see the page or the code.

I use

* {margin: 0; padding: 0;} first thing on my stylesheet - it prevents a lot of discrepancies.

Just because my computer is online does not mean that I am.

Re: Browser Issues

Using a reset stylesheet to set browser default values (along the lines of what Thelma suggested) really helps make things consistent.

I'd suggest doing a search for "reset stylesheet" or looking at this: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/ … -reloaded/
