Are there any common reasons that Firefox might totally trash a CSS skin/container design when IE and Opera display it identically and as designed?

Thanks

Dear eantics

It is wondering that IE display your skin and container as you've designed... because IE have several bugs... and follows not the right rules of the http://www.w3.org/

I usually find it the other way around; Firefox and Opera display similarly while IE displays it wonky.

Have you tried running your CSS through a validator? Maybe once you standarize your CSS (as much as IE can handle) you'll be able to see areas where the browsers clash.

Then again, your containers may also look weird if there are glitches in your skin.

Firefox doesn't collapse whitespace like IE does. DNN is full of cases where FF displays badly, or at least with excessive spacing. People seldom get the solpart right in FF, the links module is always an inch longer, paragraphs get gaps top and bottom... all sorts of things. IE often breaks the rules for the sake of good appearance.... user-experience comes first. 

Just make sure you test on both all the time during skinning... it's the only way. FF has done much to increase my workload.

Robax, thanks I'm looking at the float and way firefox handles div widths as when I apply a border to the skin divs the the inner divs look to extend outside the outer divs.

Cheers
