Hey ya'll, I've designed the site that I would like, but have little to no knowledge at all on how to make it look the same in Internet Explorer. It looks great in Mozilla Firefox, but terrible in IE. Here's the website so you can see what I mean.

If anyone would be interested in mentoring me, so that I could learn the tricks on how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. I need someone to walk me through this. Thanks for your help. -

Looks the same to me in IE and FireFox, but I have IE6. Try to stay away from using margins and column divs in your CSS. For some reason this does not translate will in IE. Hope this helps! -

You are running into the IE Box Model problem. Briefly, IE calculates the width of container objects differently than the W3C standard. As a result, when you create divs with a specific width that include padding declarations, then float them next to each other, your layout will break because IE considers them to be wider than they actually are.
