Firefox doesn't display my html properly (Like it is looking like on my editor). Explorer displays the page like my html editor.

Hello, I develop my web site with a html editor. When I use preview, everything is fine. If I use Explorer, everything is fine also but if I use Firefox to display the page, the images and text are not where they should be.

If you use MS software to generate page code then make sure that you disable VML (MS Office) code in the web authoring settings. Otherwise only IE will be able to display that website properly.

You can see VML as green comments in the View > Page Source.

A better place to ask this type of question is the web development forum at MozillaZine - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25

You will need to include a link to the site so that the code can be checked.
