Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? I have a functioning website now, the login, security, database read and write, everything is going along just wonderful. Then I realize, it only works in mozilla. Ok, so I need to make changes. The hyperlink methods used in php for mozilla, do nothing in explorer. Images are in different locations, colors look different. Sessions dont expire. WHere can I go to learn about what I have to do differently for the IE people? I know there is a code to find out what browser the user has, and I can send them a different set of code for the explorer than for mozilla.. But at least the underlying database functions should work the same no matter what browser, just the display and linking method and session handling appear to be different. Where do I find out what I need to change?

Thanks
Ice

Google is a good place to start.

Depending how you developed your site will determine the fixes. If it's a CSS site (which I'm guessing it is) then you'd want to look around for IE CSS Fixes or stop on over at CSSCreator (http://www.csscreator.com) for some help.

As for links not working in IE but working in FF, sounds like some new elements that IE hasn't included, or you coded to standards when you shouldn't have (shame on you for not thinking about IE :p )
