Hi,

I have to display the page which consists of independent jsps viz., left navigation bar, header, footer, body etc..., The problem that I am facing is that I get the output as desired at mozilla and IE the body overlaps the left navigation bar. Can you please help me go through this...as I desire to see the same output at all browser...

This has little to do with JSP. You need to laytou your HTML correctly. Moved to the HTML forum.

I am extremely sorry for posting this issue at the JSP forum initially.
Indeed, the problem was with the layout of HTML.
Thanks a lot...!

Sometimes it can be very difficult to get pages to look identical in different browsers. I usually aim for either "similar" or "decent, even if somewhat different".

It is difficult to say without seeing your code, but I would suggest checking issues with margin/padding. Since browsers often have very different defaults, it can help to make sure you are starting with a clean slate for the element you are trying to style.

There are many differences between the two (there are also other browsers such as Safari, Opera, etc...). There are also differences between different versions of MSIE. I don't think anyone will be able to give you a quick answer for getting pages to look the same in all browsers.

The best advice I can give is check your work constantly in all the browsers that you plan to support. I've heard that using an XHTML doctype tag can sometimes help but, in general, you just have to keep checking as you work on your pages.

Also you might want to have a look at this document, which explains how IE and FF differ.
