This particular class appears in a different place on IE, Firefox and Opera.
I can't figure out why when it says 144px that all the browsers display it differently and i guessing only IE at the coordinates designated,
Am i missing a crucial line of code or something?
.cityscore {
position:absolute;
top:144px;
width:438px;
left:8px;
height:26px;
border-top:solid 1px #CCE3FF;
}
thanks

the only solution i can think of is a nasty one. Making a browser sniffer that then serves each browser a specific CSS file.
I seem to be the only one who moans about how much of a nightmare brower compatabilty is. I HATE IT with all my little heart.

You're not the only one, but remember folks here are primarily search optimization focused. 
I, too, run into these snafus with one of my sites - I hate it, but I go have a latte and let go of it...
It's a reality we all have to, unfortunately, face - the makes should standardize things, but ya know how that is...

i just dont understand how code such as top:30px is so different in different browsers!
right i'm off to the Mozilla and Opera web sites to give them some abuse.

Err, both Mozilla and Opera claim to be standards-compliant browsers.
I guess that IE is the one that is not correct here.

ok well just to show i'm not making this up or going mad which is more likely. I've updated my profile to include a page that shows this.
The H1 ( Boston City Guide)
and the stars below move about 20 pixels up and down depending on which browsers you use. I've decided to make it look OK in all browsers
I'd like to solve this as I'm about to build a new site and an answer would save me lots of time.
p.s. on a serious note, Bill Gates is one of the worlds greatest ever philanthropist's.
Bill my bank account number is......

Hey Tobstar, just had a look, and it displays a-ok for me, only reason it may look like it's being pushed down coz Firefox browser comes down lower than IE (especially if tabbing, but still displays at the top of the page).
So, seems fine to me

What really stinks is when you have margins and padding. MSIE and Mozilla don't agree on the rendering. When it looks OK in MSIE, it looks crappy in Mozilla and vice-versa. Microsoft doesn't like following standards of how things get rendered. It was at one time the same problem with table rendering, but eventually IE and Netscape (which is now basically Mozilla rebranded) began to render things more the same.
Now it's CSS with different renderings because MS doesn't think it has to follow standards due to their wide market share that they have. Wish that Mozilla would kick MSIE's butt—they'd deserve it. I don't use MSIE at all if I can help it other than verifying that my pages look OK in it.
