Hi,

i had built a site with some forms and text box and many other stuff...
This site was made in dreamweaver and tested with IE.
In IE the site is nice but i'd installed firefox and the boxes aren't exactly where i put them... making the site a little lame!

What is the easies way to correct this?!

Putting a correct, valid and complete doctype at the top should be the first choice. That will usually make the design in IE as crappy looking as FireFox, because it will make them both render the page correctly. And you can work from there. Here's a list of valid doctypes:

ASP, PHP, Coldfusion, none of that matters. All those are server-side technologies that produce html code. I personally use XHTML 1.0 Strict which is the strictest. The easiest (allows for most freedom with tags) and still acceptable should be HTML4.01 Transitional. It depends on what you are producing. Do you have:
1. All tags and attributes in lower case?
2. All empty tags (like <img>, <br>, <hr>) closed?
3. All styling done with CSS?

If you answered all three questions with yes, go for XHTML. If not, resort to HTML.

Do i have to put all the three syntaxes?

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/URL]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">[/URL]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
   "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">[/URL]

i should change the url to my site, right?

No, you choose one of them. First one is the most strict (allows least freedom with coding), second is less strict and third one is used with pages that use frames. You do not change the URI, that points to the declaration of all your html elements and attributes and tells the browser how to display them.

I'd tryied all the first two and they don't correct my problem.

The real problem is that i have a layer, and inside that exists a button and text field.
In IE all stays good, but in Firefox the layer is shorter... and the button and text field stay out of the layer...

How can i solve this?

Here's the thing. There's 99% possibility that FF is showing your page as it should look according to the coding, while IE is messing up because it is following its own set of rules that let you get away with bad coding. If you put a complete doctype at the top of the html document, that will correct IE's behaviour somewhat. Alas, not entirely. If you experience the same problem with or without the doctype, keep the doctype and show us the code. We cannot know what you're doing wrong without knowing what exactly you are doing.
