230472	2004-04-19 06:22:00	Why is it that Firefox often displays sites disproportionately or incorrectly to IE? How can i fix it? Friend has the same problem :'( EG try these out with both if you can: www.anywarenz.co.nz www.xtra.co.nz/usagemeter	Growly (6)

You cant :( All you can do is e-mail the person who runs the sites that you are having problems viewing it & tell them you cant view it correctly Also I think you will find that the people who designer /made those sites, have not tested it in any other browser part from IE, as some web site designer out there, thinks that every one only users IE and not any other browser.	stu120404 (268)

Thus, when a website developer checks out how their site looks in IE (quite a common thing to do), it looks fine, because IE spruces up incorrect use of tags among other such things (not quite what IE actually does, but I'm sure you'll get the drift). Firefox renders the page literally, and so some pages tend to look decidedly different in IE than they do in better browsers.	agent (30)

230476	2004-04-19 21:41:00	No web-browser will ever display all websites 100% correct, sorry growly..... That's the thing with Standards, MS threw them out the window with IE. IIRC, Mozilla is the most standard-compliant browser around.... Basically, you cant win because Microsoft encouraged their own standards years ago. You can only put up with it an/or do as Metla has done. Chill.	Chilling_Silence (9)
