When working on projects, creating websites in specific you may come across problems with the coding or whatever. I’m currently working on building a list and marketing to that – as you hear, the moneys in the list.

I’ve had very little experience in email marketing, I built a list months ago but that didn’t go anywhere because I didn’t know what I was doing (it had under 30 people subscribed). I did however email that the same offer not long back just as on off chance to see what happened. I did get 2 or 3 leads from the list which is months old so that naturally got me keen to go back to email marketing.

Anyway back to the post, I had everything looking fine in Firefox but when I opened the page in internet explorer and the alignment of the opt in form was all messed up. I don’t have the patience for cross browser errors at the best of times but I spent about half hour – an hour trying to figure out what it was causing the problem.

To cut a long story short the problem wasn’t with the html or anything, the opt in form text boxes were simply too big. I reduced the length by a couple of pixels and everything was fine in both browsers. I never considered that because I was looking too deep into the problem whereas if I started with the simple solutions I would have saved a lot of time.
