I am making my new site...and i am using a lot of CSS. I asked my friend to check it out and he tells me it looks like crap.. I dont understand it looked amazing. He told me he was on his linux box using mozilla. I tried it out and...it looked like crap. Mozilla didnt read the css. Any suggestions as to how i can get it to work without plugins necessary?
A very confused::-=mUnky=-

Mozilla reads CSS perfectly AFAIK. Strictly by the book. That's probably you're problem, it's reading it too perfectly. Better check your code. Just because it views ok in IE does not the code is correct.

IE reads some finished CSS on the HD (that is the problem with some viruses, IE can read so he can write too  )

Mozilla is an open-source web browser based on Netscape code that was released to the public a while back. The Mozilla project page is www.mozilla.org if you are intrested. The browser is very stable and extremely functional.
IE is a very leniant browser. You'll probably find the page wont display well under Netscape or opera either. I suggest giving the page a thourogh debugging, with the aid of Netscape 7 or Mozilla instead of IE. If it displays fine under Mozilla, it's 99.9% certain that it will display under IE just fine.

tho most people use IE, i reckon developers should test their pages primarily using other browsers like opera, netscape, mozilla, etc...
as Redwolf pointed out, IE is very lenient, hence
what displays well in others will display the same in IE
but the reverse is not true...
for example,
just a few seconds ago i put the following reference in the <body> section of a page instead of the <head>:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="doc_project.css" type="text/css">
IE displayed the stylesheet whereas netscape didn't
