Well, it all comes down to how you code your website. Each browser(IE, FF, Safari, etc.) does not necessarily display pages in the same way. For example, if you use a specific code and it displays correctly in IE, but not FF, that means that FF is not capable of displaying that specific code. What you need to do is fix your code so it can be read by all browsers the same way, and sometimes its a pain in the butt, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do...

Hopefully that little paragraph helps x_x So just find the coding thats "off"(in a sense) and try to play around with it...

That's quite a NON-answer... I don't think it helps AT ALL !

Sorry, but that's nonsense . What it MEANS is that IE, the least standards-compliant browser, is as usual screwing up yet again.

Alfren - use an unordered list for your navigation instead of all those divs and you'll be better off.

Yes I've already fixed the problem and the site is working fine now. I only need help because my client is using MAC OS and I'm not and he says its not displaying correctly.

Well the problem is my code in the navigation,

the code:
Code:
<a href="#"><div class="something">Link</div></a>
is not allowed so i changed the code into this:
Code:
<div><a href="#" class="something">Link</a></div>
Well this code is much easier for me than using ordered list.

Thank you for your responses anyways.

"Well this code is much easier for me than using ordered list."
