I wouldn't worry about IE 5 - very few people use that browser anymore...

Well if I had of followed your instructions to the letter - to which I have no excuse although the words Haste and Foolishness spring to mind.....

Now done what you instructed.Works great in IE6 (Hurrah) and Safari.Same prob still in all versions of IE 5.

Would it be ok to leave it or is that bad practice (and laziness) ?

Thankyou for taking the time reply to me - very much appreciated.

Well I use Opera, Firefox and Konqueror and it renders the page pretty-much the same across all of them. Choice is a good thing, as long as standards are adhered to.

I believe most Linux people use Firefox, the other popular choice being Konqueror and it works fine in that too. You might want to check in Safari, sometimes that has the odd weird bug, nothing like Microsoft's efforts though.

Thankyou JeevesBond.

Yes I do already hate IE and no I don't use it myself.

That solved the problem with the BDWD logo -which now looks good in all the browsers (although haven't checked it in the Mac or Linus browsers.Does it ever end? )

Now all I need is to centre the small star image.............
The coding I have for that is -

img.stars

{

display: block;

margin-left: auto;

margin-right: auto;

}

Looks ok in IE 7 just problems in 5 and 6.Where it goes to the left.

Why can't everyone just use Firefox? Who said choice was a good thing!

This is a bug in Internet Explorer, don't worry about your coding being messy. It's valid and semantic, which is good!

You'll need to set:

#footer {
  text-align: center;
}

'
and

#main {
  text-align: center;
}

'
You'll notice that the text alignment of all the text is centred in #main now, very annoying, so you could fix this with:

#main p {
  text-align: left;
}

'
Wait until you run into the other problems that browser causes, you'll learn to hate Internet Explorer. Hope this helps

Ok here it is -

http://www.careachievers.com/

The small star logo below the writing should be in the centre and the
Baddogwagdog logo should be in the centre too.Well they are -apart from IE 5 and 6.
In IE 5/6 the small star logo goes to the left and the BDWD logo goes to the right (actually think I might prefer it there..........)

My coding could be a bit messy.This is my first website so I hope that excuses me a bit.

Is it possible to make a site look the same in all browsers or am I just a tad naive?

Could you provide a URL so we can see exactly what's happening?
