Dear friends I have developed my site in css, php, html etc. and is working perfectly in internet explorers older versions but as soon as I use either ie 8 or chrome or any other browser then its disturbed looks really tenses me like anything please help me to solve this problem. I have a drop down menu in my site it is also not working properly in ie8.

Post a screen shot.

Shouldn't behave like that, really, since IE 8 is closer to 'standards-compliant' than its former versions. Also, Chrome shouldn't have trouble processing it since it's better than all of the Internet Explorers. So.. that means a mistake in coding.

Again, post a screen shot.

as little asterisk said you should post a screen shoot or a link if you uploaded your site so that we can help you more. it is really odd to get such bugs in internet explorer 8 because usually bugs are the most in internet explorer 6 and 7.

anyway, to reduce browsers bugs, you should reset your browsers to default style, for me i use this one

also there are many ways to fix browsers bugs, i use css hacks, check these links:

As everyone else suggested, you should post a screenshot of your site or give your website address. Other than that, try using Chrome or Firefox and install the Firebug plugin and see whats wrong with your website. Also, no one uses IE8 , most of the people use IE6, so try your website in that or in the Compatibility option in IE8.

This is happening with my site tiny--LX. It is fine in Safari, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome etc... When I use it in IE the shrink button is out of line.

So what problem are you having exactly? The drop down list isn't the main problem but a separate problem. You didn't mention what the problem was other than a funky drop down list which isn't even part of the main problem. But if your site looks fine in previous versions of Internet Explorer, i would have to consider that you have used some Internet Explorer related hacks. Internet Explorer 8 allows you to force rendering of older render engines. If it looks fine under Internet Explorer 7, just tell Internet Explorer 8 to render in IE7 mode.

If you use simple DIV construction and use patterns your website should look same in all browsers.

Styling option drop-downs is not good and it is not browser compatible. Use javascript alternative for that.

One aide I constantly use to to check my work for while working on assignments for my programming class helps me out a lot. Actually, make that two aides.

The first following helps to check for code errors in both html and css:

It makes a big difference as to how it would show up in a given browser. But of course, you'll have to go with its strict rules of html coding, if you want to bother with it.

The second following helps to check browser compatibility through all browser platforms and computer platforms, some browsers and computers you may never even heard of:

This way, you'll know if you need to make adjustments or not.

You could try using a framework such as Blueprint CSS as it is built to be compatible with all browsers including IE6..
check it out if you want
Here's a link to it if u need it

If you did your website and while working on it only tried in older versions of browser then probably that is going to happen since you didn´t try on the new ones, I think the easy solution is to create exception CSS sheets for each browser you are having trouble with and that would do the trick for a while.
