Rooted that's very good as you can actually test your sites without having open all the broswer programs.

Can you provide a link to this extension?

Well, this extension might not work real well for what you are talking about.  With this, if you are on a page that doesn't view properly in FF you can set FF to always switch you over to the actual IE browser anytime you return to that particular page.  What you are talking about doing might work better with the extension found here... https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419&application=firefox Visit through proxy  (I haven't tried this one, just found out about it as I was looking for the other link to post here)

The extension that I was originally talking about (View in IE) can be found here... https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&application=firefox Visit through proxy

I may have to give the 'IE tab' one a try and see if it doesn't serve my purposes even better.

I used to swear by I.E then I tried Firefox and fell in love. I also test with the others and on occasion I forget to test and think sod it if it works OK in firefox then more fool the internet in general! Then reality kicks in and I do my job properly!

I.E 5.5 on a mac is a currious beast I must say!

You guys are nicer than I am.  If it doesnt look right in firefox or work for that matter I'll just move on.  There are plenty of sites with the same topic I'm sure.

That's a very good argument PixelGoat.

Sites are not like software. You can't have requirements for the visitor (except than a browser)

i use IE because microsoft will eventually monopolize the other browsers, and everything works with IE where osme other things dont work on FireFox and Netscape, etc. the rest suck. in my opinion

Thats not entirely true, sites that are perfectly programmed according to the standarts can cause problems displaying in IE and apart from that IE lets in a lot of spyware/adware I get none of that crap in FireFox.

p.s. I can do without the IE crap that doesn't work in FireFox (like that amazing text effect in Nikolas' signature Grin )

I use Firefox for 99% of my surfing. I love the tabs and the fact pop-up blocking is on by default. (IE does this too with XP SP2 but I am still on Windows 2000).

For sites that appear to be written specifically for IE, I use Maxthon. It uses the IE engine, so you still have to run the Windows updates regularly, but it has provided tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking for years, without having to wait for IE7. Plus it has way more options than I know what to do with.

For testing websites, I also keep Opera up to date, but rarely use it. The last time I used it regularly, it crashed too much.

My number one is mozilla 1.7 but they stopped the development, so I have to wait for a mature version of seamonkey...in the meantime Firefox is the only replacement (together with thunderbird)

Firefox for me is much better than IE, for the reasons you have posted.

I use mozilla firefox because of all the neat features like tabbed browsing where all your windows open up all within the browser rather than on your toolbar, freeing it up for other programs.

i use FF a lot personally... when designing sites I do check in this order, FF, IE, Opera...

Although nifty stuff of built-in plugins for Opera are cool, and a lot of skins too... I like the web developer toolbar for IE for marking div wrappers etc...

Overall I prefer FF...

I definitely do,

Ill solve one of your problems, namely the row thumbnails spacing to be equal in IE and FF, you can do the rest with this tip... Its a box model problem within IE...

Also notice you border for your footer floating on top, producing double lines in FF in the area just above "Meer informatie"

Lets solve that first...
On your CSS add the bold one

===========================================================
.footnote {
    clear:both;
   margin:5px 0 0;
   border-top:1px solid #DDDDDD;
   font-size:11px;
   line-height:20px;
   padding:10px 0 0;
   text-align:left;
}
===========================================================

While on the problem on the row of images spacings, add this to your html just above your <body> tag:
===========================================================
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
#thumbrows img {
   border:1px solid #DDDDDD;
   margin-bottom:20px;
   margin-top:0px;
   float:left;
   padding:5px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
===========================================================

basically you can include all properties of css that is having problems in IE inside it... then everything will look the same...

Thank you designer, for your help...

I the meantime I solved the problem a little bit different by using another box arround the thumbs to use margins in place of padding. And the footer was only about the background image direction (switch bottom to top)
