I've got a question for web developers. I just downloaded Firefox because I wanted to see how my website looked with it. I have been developing for IE using Cascading Style Sheets, but with Firefox, it's almost like it doesn't recognize some of my styles. Has anyone else experienced these issues with IE/Mozilla compatability?

IE doesn't do CSS correctly, so often if you do the workarounds to get style sheets working well with IE it can break the rendering in Firefox and other standards-compliant browsers. I've found that developing with Visual Studio.NET you get two main browser choices to develop to: IE 5 or Netscape 4 (which is totally broken for CSS, making IE look awesome in comparison). So if you want to use CSS, it writes it to be compatible with IE5. It would be nice if they put a "Mozilla minus what IE can't understand" as an option.
