Dont Forget </iframe> & i would suggest using quotes for your attributes & getting rid of those spaces. aka.

Heh, already fixed it. It was because the layer i had the frame on was above the iframe.

What you suggested was just organizing it =/ it works fine without quotes and the </iframe> was after </div> i forgot to highlight. =/

I do have Firefox but you still have to remember, not everyone uses Firefox yet. Most people with a PC still use Internet Explorer. I know for a fact some people get fustrated when they can't view a website properly, just because someone couldnt be bothered to align frames properly.

In my opinion, I wouldnt use DIV tags for alignment anyway, I learned this the hard way on my previous site, www.m3ezw.co.uk. Every page uses them and it became annoying.

Using tables can be easier, as demonstrated in AbyssUnderground.

BTW, thanks for adding my link to your site, greatly appriciated. If you have a logo and want to sponsor us, I will link to your site. Logo should be 450 x 100px maximum.

Same thing happened to my friend when he was building a site to put on my server. He built the whole thing using FireFox & when i viewed it in IE it looked like tottal crap. So i told him about it, he rebuilt it in IE and now it works perfect in IE & FireFox. For coding websites i would suggest using IE to preview it because it still looks the same on FireFox when your done .. well atleast it does for me anyways.

I agree, AbyssUnderground was built with IE and it worked fine in FireFox the first time I ever tried it.

I would do this for all sites.

I always test my sites in Opera, as Opera is very standards compatible (and also able to render the rubbish some people create) so if it looks ok in Opera it will be fine in both IE, and FF.
