Are there any MySpace layouts that will work with Firefox?

I've been trying to copy some MySpace layouts to my page, but they always look strange in my Mozilla Firefox browser. Are there any tweaks I need to use in the code?

This happens because Firefox is not fully compatible with the page you're viewing. The layout you're using , uses the code which works in IE based browsers perhaps but causes display problems in Firefox.



If you're not able to view all components of a webpage, in Firefox click on View %26gt; Page style %26gt; No style. What this does is, it just shows a page using the basic HTML layout However as you'll see, the page now looks very different .



So what i'd really suggest you is to get the extension 'IE tab' for firefox.( That is, if your layouts are displayed properly in IE). Once you install that extension , simply put the myspace URL in that extension so that it'll be one of the sites that'll open within firefox but will use the IE's engine. I'll walk you through it.



Click here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox... for the IE tab extension



Once you're on the page, click 'install now (windows)' ...follow steps to install. At the end it'll prompt you to restart firefox.



Now click Tools %26gt;Add-ons %26gt; Extensions %26gt; click on IE tab extension %26gt; click options . Now in the URL, enter http://myspace.com and click 'add'. now click 'ok' to close to box. From now on, always myspace.com will open with IE's engine . If you want a certain page(for example your own page) to look like how it does in IE, then instead of the entire myspace URL, just put in your own page's URL there. What this extension basically does is, it lets you change the rendering engine for a webpage. If you don't want to enter any URL there, then you can also click the mozilla firefox icon in the bottom right of the window to switch to the IE rendering engine for the page you're viewing after installing this extension.



That's it



The solution i described above is a workaround. The problem you are facing will always be an issue with the browsers which don't understand specific codes. So the workaround what i explained, will work for all the pages which open fine in IE but cause display problems in firefox.

The code probably has IE only specific tags which may or may not be recognised and interpreted properly by Firefox (which is standards compliant). Additionally, even the regular W3C standard code may be interpreted differently by different browsers.



You'll have to isolate what is not being displayed properly and adjust the code accordingly. Google will be your friend.

my layout works different from firefox than internet explorer, it works though. I created it with firefox, but it just isn't translucent like I made it with internet explorer and my cursor don't work. I went to www.killerkiwi.com

you need to make sure you are using w3w proper coding. IE is a horrible browser and recognizes all sorts of horrible codes



main thing is to nest stuff in tables and the tie the tables down using your style sheets
