Why does my site look different in Internet Explorer?

Hi

I'm in the process of building my new site.

http://trulyethical.com

It looks Ok in Firefox, but when I look at it in Internet Explorer only 2 images are on each row on the homepage. Also when I look at it on a bigger screen in internet Explorer there are big gaps down the right hand side and the header does not go all the way across.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Matt:(

I used FF3 & IE8 at 1280x1040 and everything shows just fine.

You need to provide more information; screenshot would be helpful also.

The learning is in the doing.

Matt,

Several of your links include a zenid...
Links should NEVER have a zenid

Re: Why does my site look different in Internet Explorer?

I get three images across in IE6.

If by 'the header does not go all the way across' you mean that the BAFTS logo is not on the right hand side then this is because it is part of an image that include all the header stuff and therefore it's distance from the left hand side of the windo isn't going to change.

Rob's point is good:

You need to provide more information; screenshot would be helpful also.

Re: Why does my site look different in Internet Explorer?

Matt,

Some of your images are 175x175 while others are wider...
I suspect part of your issue is that there is not enough space at what ever resolution you are seeing this.
ZenCart divides the available space by what you have set as "per row" and in your case this is 33%

Make all these images the same dimensions and see if you still see the issue
