    Site looks different in Firefox vs Internet Explorer

    I have a site made in Dreamweaver that has larger text that looks fine in Firefox, but not in Internet Exporer. Here's a link to the site www.goodyearmortgage.com . Please help if you can, Thank you!

    Your link loads in IE7 and Firefox but nothing shows, just a white screen.

    Font sizes often are different in Firefox and IE, for normal text and headings; also the top and bottom margins for <h> and <p> tags are different so it's usual to specify exact sizes in px to get the looking the same.

    If you use relative sizes like medium or small or use ems or say nothing then browsers will show slightly differently.

    I don't use Dreamweaver but there must be a setting to size font and margins, or edit them in yourself into a stylesheet or within <style>...</style> tags in the head section :

    body { font-size: 16px; }
    h1 { font-size: 20px; }
    p { margin-top: 5px; }
    h1 { margin-top: 8px; }
    Code downloaded to my PC will be deleted in due course.
    WIN7; IE9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari for Windows; screen resolution usually 1366*768.
    Also IE6 on W98 with 800*600 and IE8 on Vista 1440*900.
