I haven't done anything in Xanga in a while but from what I remember, using the "padding" feature to align stuff usually worked out better in FF. I don't know but it worked for me. I looked at your css code but it's kinda messy =X so I stopped after I scanned about 1/4 of it lol. What's the name of the div that moves what your trying to position?
EDIT-
I remember what I did when thing's looked differently in IE and FF (I'm using a 1440 x 900 screen reso as well). I used conditional statements like so:
CODE
<![if Webkit]>
<div style="position:absolute;width: 310px; margin-top: -800px; padding-right:180px;">
<![endif]>
<!--[if IE]>
<div class="blogSpace" style="width: 310px; position: absolute; margin-top: -820px; margin-left: -185px;">
<![endif]-->
That was part of my code that I used on the last layout I did for a friend. I hope that helps. Alternatively you can also use conditional statements in your css here is a website that elaborates on doing so, as I don't frequent use these techniques and used the one above as a quick solve.

^ it looks like you have to have a website.. and that it's not real css--just some new type of code that only works if you upload it to your website server ?
edit//
hopefully I'm wrong.
Thank you for showing me that

Padding doesn't work either.
DamianJ
Jan 18 2009, 01:58 PM
Hmm. Which div is it that's not aligning? And as for the code it should work as its being used on my friends site at least this should:
CODE
<![if Webkit]>
Anything in here gets processed by Firefox, Safari, and Netscape.
<![endif]>
<!--[if IE]>
Anything in here gets processed by IE only.
<![endif]-->
The div's I had in there were from an old html code I did not necessarily related to your problem.

the nav at the top is aligning fine, but when i used padding on the other ones, it just messed up.
see?
DamianJ

Are you talking about the blog because that's the only thing that looks like its mis-aligned. Oh and your background repeats on the y-axis in IE? it looks weird it doesnt do it in FF though.

I'm trying to code it while you guys are viewing it, so it looks really different than how it did to begin with.
edit//
for some reason postion:absolute and position:relative don't want to work.
DamianJ
Jan 18 2009, 02:32 PM
Mind letting us see your code? Add some comment where it is your having trouble. I can't do much without seeing it or knowing where the problem lies.

Oh and I wouldn't rely on "position: abosolute;" because that places things relative to your screen resolution if I remember correctly. Therefore "position: relative;" is a better alternative. And is the div named "boddyy" the one for the blog?

It's simple but a professional looking simple. Good job.
What font did you use for "emberfly layouts"? Is that just Times New Roman?
emberfly
Jan 18 2009, 06:25 PM
here it is on my site:
http://www.xanga.com/emberfly_layoutsedit//
the font is Will & Grace.
You can get it from
Dafont.
edit//
in case anyone asks, the "Navigation:" font is called Eurostile. ... MY FAVORITEST FONT EVERR

Instead of using "CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT" in your content space, try using what a lot of designers use as text fillers:
