Firefox & Internet Explorer

Question

Hello there,
I've created a website in Dreamweaver CS3 using AP Tags.
However, when I view the page, it's look absolutly perfect in
Firefox though in Internet Explorer it looks relatively the same
but things have moved; for example, I've used an AP Tag scroller
and in Internet Explorer the scroller doesn't show at all - in
Firefox it does.
Can anyone help in this somewhat frustrating problem.
All the best,
Kristopher (UK).

Answer 1

Actually, the real reason that their use is a bad idea, is
that if the text
inside the AP element is resized, the AP element *will*
resize to
accommodate it. When it resizes, it does not 'push' other
elements aside,
like normal 'in the flow' containers would do, and you wind
up with AP
content overflowing normal content, and a big overlapping
mess. In this
sense, their problems are caused by BEING flexible, not by
being inflexible.
But I'm guessing that your use of the word "flexible" was not
made in that
sense....
