Hello Folks,

Really hoping somebody can help me.

I've been trying to learn CSS and thought I'd got some of the basics sorted, but now I've downloaded Internet Explorer 8, it's throwing all my hard work out of sync (unless I use this new option called 'Compatibility View').

Don't really understand what I've done wrong, or how to fix it.

Cheers,
SN.

It would be easier to help if you give an example.

The general rule is: Stick with the standards.
You can't go wrong.

Are you developing on IE? That would be unfavorable for you.

You should get Firefox, and develop for FF, and provide fix for IE if needed.

Thanks for all the feedback everybody.

Have been developing in IE and then checking in Firefox, but will try doing it the other way round rather.

I think I've managed to fix it now, so its looking right in both IE8 and FF, but I notice there are still some issues with IE7 and earlier versions. Is that normal?

Cheers!

Yes, it's pretty normal, try using a CSS reset, this gets rid of default browser styling which means you have to do it all but it will be the same across all browsers, well most. Also google for a list of the IE6 problems you can have, there is a lot of them. Also I think getting stuff to work in IE6/7 is easier than IE8 so use the compatibility mode to render your site as IE7 if you're still having problems with IE8.
