[SOLVED] Firefox Display Issue with my CSS design

winnard2007 · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 2nd, 2007, 14:21

Hi,

I am re-designing our website and have done a design which is exactly how i want it to look.

However i have been testing the display in IE and it is fine.

I have however just opened it up in Firefox and the design is aligned to the left for some reason and has completely knackered the design.

Can anybody solve my problem.

Here is the CSS

Code: Select all

body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;

If you can figure it out that would be great.

I am not highly proficient in CSS yet, so it could be something simple.

Cheers Dan

By the way when opened in IE it should be centered to the middle of the page, in Firefox it is all over the place.

Ive had a play about with your code and found if you add this to your CSS:

Code: Select all

div, body {
margin: 0 auto;
}

I have tested in Firefox and this works although not in IE.
