O.P. My Site + Firefox 3 Alpha's
Ok with my website http://www.haboz.net whenever somebody tries and view it with Firefox 3 Alpha 2 it goes all weird, if you have Alpha 2 and go to my site you will see what i mean, i know it is an alpha, and we advise people downgrade to older versions but people still try and browse the site with it, if anybody knows why it does what it does then please let me know, because i want it fixed sooner than later :(

Well, that's because your HTML source is VERY incorrect.

To be very honest, it's the biggest pile of random code i've ever seen and i'm very surprised it even works in other browsers...

I suggest you read through the HTML basics again ;)

Well explain to me why it works in everything except Alpha 2 of FF3 *-) Half the code was written using Dreamweaver, and some was recently updated.

ok your website is horrible.
  • you have no doctype
  • you are using multiable <html> tags where there should only one opening and one closing tag per document
  • you have random closing tags when there are no opening tags
  • you have elements like <style type="text/css"></style> which does nothing
  • more random closing tags
  • you have a doctype half way down your page, oh and another set of <head> tags
  • some crappy copyright which doesnt include "i copied and pasted this code hence why it is pure crap"


Edit
there is no possible way that crap was made using dreamweaver

If the HTML source of a page is incorrect the browser switches to Quirks mode, where it tries to make the best out of the page.
I guess they changed the Quirks behavior in FF3 Gecko 1.9 to force people to make correct HTML source.

It was made with dreamweaver, but includes miscoded php includes (pages), which i will fix up as soon as i can, i have been clearing up the code slowly, and the code was not copied and pasted for your information. Thanks for the criticism i guess ;)

EDIT: From what i see on the frontpage i have now cleared any un-needed head tags and crap...and what do you advise i add as doctype?
