    Web Pages appear differently in different browsers.

    My experience is you never achieve 100% look the same.

    AND what your asking is nearly impossible to answer.

    IE and Mozilla have moved closer and closer to appearing the same as the years pass by.

    If your designing and building a web site I suggest the best way to accomplish what your asking is run test of your web site with both browsers.

    Now I am a novice and if your building a high powered web site using JAVA and guest books and credit cards and ordering forms and the like you better wait for the experts to answer your question.

    But, if you building a simple personal or small business web site then just test it with both type browsers.

    It's not that big a deal normally and the trick is to be HTML compliant. You do the coding properly and it should work with both browsers.

    My 2 cents, Ray

    Your question has a definitive answer.
    There is NO version of Mozilla behaves same like IE6.

    The reason is that IE6 is about the worst modern browser version ever made by MS, as far as code handling and standards rendering goes. Don't code sites for IE6 anymore, code for IE7 minimumly.

    IE6 has poor & buggy CSS handling and quirks.

    If you want your site to render appropriatly in IE6 and Mozilla, and apper the same to viewers, then code the docs per W3C standards and use 2 stylesheets, one for IE6 and one for all other browsers, else you are guaranteed to have troubles.

    Test standerness of code here:
