Browser compatibility

chokk · May 16th, 2005, 07:33 AM

I have put up a small php/mysql application on our intranet running on a suse/linus web server. The web page looks normal on konquerer/firefox browser but looks awful on IE especially the table lines. Is there a way to fix this problem other than forcing the users to install firefox? Appreciate any help from someone. Thanks

PHP/MySQL don't affect much layout.
May be you've problem with CSS/JavaScript and HTML.
It is easy to support IE and Firefox both.
Please see your client-side code. Validate your CSS/HTML. -do-

Thanks for the feedback guys. I haven't got to the level of using CSS yet which will probably fix the problem. To be more specific, in the code example below, the text line within the table box is not centered vertically but skewed closer to the top line leaving more space below. Whereas in firefox browser each text in the table is centered properly.
<html>
<head>
     <title>unlogged_user.php</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border=1 width="400" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1 bgcolor="#353535" align="center">
         <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan=1 align="Center">
            <h3>Welcome to CM Database Web Page</h3>
         </td>
        </Table>
<p></p>
<table border=0 width="400" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1 bgcolor="#353535" align="center">
         <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan=1 align="Center">
            <h4>You are currently not logged in.</h4>
         </td>
        </Table>
<table border=0 width="400" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1 bgcolor="#353535" align="center">
    <tr>
         <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan=1 align="Center">
            <h4>Please, <a href="user_login.php">click here</a> to login as a user.</h4>
         </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
         <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan=1 align="Center">
            <h4>Or</h4>
         </td>
    <tr>
         <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan=1 align="Center">
            <h4><a href="admin_login.php">click here</a> to login as an administrator.</h4>
         </td>
    </tr>
        </Table>
</body>
</html>
