Hi, I seem to be running into many issues with Firefox and Explorer when it comes to creating quote boxes around pictures, text in threads. Sometimes it works and sometimes is is just all screwed up.

Does this happen for anyone else?

Here are pictures of the same exact spot in 2 different browsers.

1st picture is in Google Chrome:

This next on is in Internet Explorer:

This next on is in Firefox:

I also have transparent pictures that display perfect in Chrome and in Explorer they get a blue border and in Firefox they get an orange border.

What gives?

Is this thread just a way to advertise your Official 3D Dot Game Heroes thread?

Anyway, post it in my "minor complaints" thread which TalonMan has so kindly hijacked

The HTML for the tables it's using to create those is malformed. 

When broken code is presented to a web browser, the browser has to figure out a way to handle it because it has no way of magically knowing what you intended the page to look like.  Since it doesn't know what it should do... it starts guessing and every browser tends to guess a little differently.

What WoW said, but it matters what version of each browser is used, too.

Solution - use Chrome.

If you post the HTML, if thats possible here, some of us can help with the code. It doesn't take much effort to make that layout of yours work accross web browsers.

Maybe do this:

1) Make a Table with 2 Rows, place text in the upper row and pic on bottom row,

2) On the table properties popup, put in cellpadding as 5, and cellspacing 0

3) Close the properties popup

4) Right click on the top cell and choose from the menu Cell > Table Cell Properties

5) Go to the Advanced tab and at the Style field add in "background-color: #1c1c1c;" (without quotes)

6) Then centralise the frames texts if you prefer

7) Repeat 4-6 for bottom row

Scroll down for examples.

Note that all content here has some styles applied already from VGC's own style sheets, thats why in this example, the cellspacing is set to zero and individual styles are applied to each cell instead of the whole table, VG has a color defined for table cells and it will override your style if you style the whole table instead of each cell.
