Layout not working in IE but fine in all other browsers?

Hi,
I'm probably missing something very simple, but can anyone shed some light on as to why the a coloumn keeps jumping in IE but works & looks as it should in all other browsers.
The link to the page in question is below, I have tried fixing the width and even rebuild the page but all to no avail.

Many thanks

First thing - all webpages should have a doctype. Yours doesn't. Add one that is consistent with the code you have already used on the page (looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional). This will prevent browsers from rendering the page in quirks mode (a bad thing).
Second - don't use commas or spaces in file/pathnames:
background-image: url(images/Touring%20Sport%20-%20Sports%20Tours,%20Schools%20Tours%20and%20Corporate%20To urs.jpg);
Third - when you specify a font, do it as a family, not a single font. In your case, a computer that doesn't have Helvetica will default to Times New Roman, which is probably not what you intended:
.Contact_Header {
font-family: Helvetica;
Fourth - justified text is not very satisfactory on the web, and is harder to read than non-justified text:
.Main_Text {
font-family: Helvetica;
color: #666;
text-align: justify;
Finally, in addition to these things, wonky code is the cause of your problems. Here is the validation report for this page - there are many things there that need to be fixed -

I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

Index Page of my site is a mess in safari, but fine with all other browsers

All my web pages load fine, except for just one page: www.rentaphone.com.

Drop-down menu's don't appear correct (you actually see the html coding).
Need help, please.

I am using Firefox 4 on Windows XP.
I use Adblock Plus, Apture Highlights, cacaoweb, Java Console, Realplayer Plugin, Smoothwheel and XULRunner as add-ons.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See:

The XULRunner 1.9.1 extension is considered malware and you should remove it.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

HELP?!? - Website BeachBalls/Hangs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.

Site beachballs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.
The page loads in safari if javascript is disabled, so it would seem to be something javascript related that is causing the issue.
Because it beachballs safari i can't even debug the issue in safari.
This site was working in Safari before, I beleive this issue started with the latest Safari update, but don't hold me to that.
I need help figuring out what the issue is so I can fix it for Safari users.
Since it bricks safari i can't even get far enough to determine what the issue is or set debug points or gleen any helpful information from Safari about why this may be happening.
I might be forced to hack out sections until i can eliminate/pinpoint the code, but being a magento site that is a very complex and daunting proposition.
Please help!!! Please, please, pretty please. :-)
Pointers? Tips? Ideas on how to track down the issue?
site is: http://bumblebeetoys.com/
(no flash or similar content in this page, this is a standard magento website.)
Many many many thanks to anyone who can help resolve this issue or has any helpful pointers about tracking it down.
Thanks,
Josh

I ran your site with Firefox error console and got the attached, perhaps Safari can't handle these errors. Activity monitor does show Safari in a hard cpu loop while trying to access the site. 'Sample Process' seems to point at a Java Script as the culprit.

this is a magento site so yeah, there are wc3 validation errors as with most magento sites.
i'll look into resolving as many of those as possible, but all the other webkit based browsers load the site fine, which also points back to a javascript issue as safari uses its own javascript implimentation.
anyone have any ideas? please chime in. thanks.

Why does my javascript code work fine in all other browsers, but not Safari

Previously, I have asked how Safari handles javascript trying to resolve a problem with a slide menu, (http://www.designoutput.com/testslide.html) being directed to validator. I have corrected as many things as possible and still have code work in other browsers. Why will my code work in all other browsers (IE 5.2, Firfox, Netscape, and Opera) and not Safari. It appears that Apple would address some of the problems that people are listing. Possibly, my problem is not with Safari, but my code, if so why does it work in all other browsers. Having more knowledge of how Safari accepts code or handles code differently than other browsers would be helpful. It would be nice if I could debug my code in Safari step by step to know where the problem is at. I'm just frustrated with Safari after working on my problem for over a month. Would be very greatful to anyone that could just being to get my code to appear in Safari (only a blank page in Safari, menu appears in all other browsers)

you seem to have deleted even more end tags. elements (<a>, <div>, <td>, etc.) need to be closed (</a>, </div>, </td>, etc.) to structure the code properly.
incorrect:
document.write(example)
correct:
document.write(<font...>example)
check out w3schools for html and javascript help.
the ilayer tag should only be in your NS (i.e. not NS6) code, but it too needs to be closed.
i don't use IE, but with these fixes i've gotten your page to display fine in safari, firefox and opera.

Hi my website it working fine on all other browsers but on firefox it is not displaying properly. I was hoping to send a screenshot to see if anyone had any ideas why this might be happening.

Why are certain Gmail messages and conversations not appearing in Firefox 4 (I get the left sidebar, top bar, but message fails to appear), but functions fine in all other browsers?

Certain messages in Gmail are not displaying properly (http://img607.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20110228at101.png/). These messages appear properly in all other browsers (including previous versions of Firefox), and also appear when I disable all labs. Disabling Right Side Chat labs appears to enable display of the message, but destroys all formatting (page stretches to the right beyond viewable resolutions, line breaks disappear), and so on.

Thank you for your prompt email.
I have thoroughly checked and double-checked all the factors below.
On two different computers. Unfortunately, nothing has helped yet.
I can assure you that each item listed below has been checked several times during all my searching today and ALSO again right now.
There are no problems with Plugins, Themes or Extensions found. No permissions blocked, No media blocked images, No third-party permissions blocked. No images blocked from any domains. And images are 'Enabled'. There are no exceptions in place to the loading images. No exclusions in my security software settings.
AND I have checked all of this on a second computer that is also having this same problem. That person is using a different security software than I am but they are having the same problem with images in only their Gmail account also - but NOT when using IE9. Only when signing in through Firefox. And we both think it started yesterday or this morning.
That pc is still on Firefox version 12.0. I updated earlier today to version 13.0 but the problem is still ongoing for both of us.
Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
I have to get something accomplished. WAY behind now.
Thank you,

Uploading files containing swedish letter åäö gets ecoding corrupted in firefox for mac. Same features works fine in all other browsers. Is this a bug in firefox for mac?

When uploading a file containing swedish letter å, ä or ö the file name is gets corupted in the filename. There are som encoding issues just for the mac version, since the file name is uploaded correctly in all other browsers on mac and all browsers in windows.

What form does this corruption take? According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695995 the difference is decomposed vs precomposed Unicode forms, but that should not actually affect any Unicode-complian software. If there's a site that shows a problem here, can you point me to it?

Flash not appearing in IE 8 but appears in all other browsers

Hi,
I've inserted my flash swf file using Dreamweaver CS4 and it looks great and appears in all other browsers including IE 7 and IE6, but when I try to view it in IE8 nothing appears but a big blank white space. Can someone help me figure out how to make it appear in IE8 as well? Here is the page I've having trouble with.

Unable to see your Flash in IE6 on WinXP. Also, in IE6 your page is not centered. Possibly caused by code validation errors and the fact that some of your file paths are pointing to your local computer drive instead of the site. Specifically these.
behavior: url("file:///C|/websites/BenEverson/3ColumnHybridHeaderandFooter_images/iepngfix.htc");
<script src="file:///C|/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

FF 29 totally hosed the display of Care2, now just one long line, none of the normal UI appears, but does in all other browsers. Why?

The site now appears as one huge list, instead of the graphical interface that still works in all other browsers. I've had to revert to FF 28 where everything works fine. If there's a way to let me know when this is fixed, that would be nice. Else I'm staying with FF28 - even though it is so Chrome-like now, and I really don't like Chrome. I did miss the addon bar on the bottom with my Forecast Fox and other things handy.

LoadVars Not Working in 9 but fine 8

I have a SWF that has a form and LoadVars.send() to send the
form info to the server. It works in 8 but does not work in 9.0r16.
The SWF is on the image server domain for several sites and
the SJP file that it sends to is on a different domain. I have a
crossdomain.xml in the file that the domain that recieves the forma
data.
Should the crossdomain.xml file be on the image server
instead?
If it is in the DOCROOT of that server do I still have t o
load it with System.security.loadPolicyFile?
Does that override what I put in
System.security.allowDomain("")?
Is my problem even cross domain related? since that should be
a problem in 8 as well and in 8 it works just fine.

First thing - all webpages should have a doctype. Yours doesn't. Add one that is consistent with the code you have already used on the page (looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional). This will prevent browsers from rendering the page in quirks mode (a bad thing).

Flash not working in IE but fine in Mozilla

I was having no problems in IE with web sites that used Flash
until yesterday one site told me to download latest version of
Flash Player. It would not install properly. I went through all the
steps that Adobe suggested including uninstalling Flash Player.
That was a big mistake! Now I have multiple problems with many web
sites in IE. Mozilla runs these web sites with no problem. How can
I get IE running properly again? I have manipulated the security
settings to allow ActiveX in Custom Level Security. I even tried
Default level. Uninstalling destroyed something, but how do I get
it back. I have been unable to reinstall version 8. Probably doing
it incorrectly. Is this all about ActiveX? Please help!
