IE6 and FireFox2

As you can see in the image there are a few differences.

Firstly, the h1, "what is Treatcard?" is right up against the orange bar in IE 6"

Secondly, the border is thicker in IE

and Thirdly, in the orange bar, "password" is centered vertically in FF but not in IE.

What are some things I can do to get IE to render the page out more like FF?

Thanks

IE isn't nearly as standards compliant as much as IE. You just need to tinker with the border, margin, padding and position properties to get it all to work out. You can also use IE conditional statements to clear your way through the problems if you see fit.

As Ryan has said default style for Firefox then my preferred method is to use an 'ieonly' stylesheet to tweak values for IE.

You can find an example of how to do this in the sticky at the top of this forum.
