I'm starting to tear out my hair over this, and I have really nice hair, too.
My problem is that everything can be laid out beautifully in the design
screen, and look brilliant in the preview screen, and look fantastic then
previewing my site in browser IE6. Even after publishing, it looks great
from my laptop (that I built it on) and on my desktop that doesn't even have
FP2003 loaded onto it. However, on my computer at work, things are a bit
cockeyed. the two auto shape divider lines ahve mysteriously slid down and
to the right. and on some pages the text is together as it should be, but
WAY down in the corner of the screen.
What am I doing wrong? Why are the errors only viewable from some
computers? This is my first experience with FP well, building aything on the
web at all, , and I'm totally stumped. two sites for you to look at
http://www.christopherjinteriors.com and http://www.dragonmanagement.com
Thanks.

You are using absolutely positioned elements (divs) inside of variable width tables (a no-no)
- the results will vary w/ each users browser and screen / browser window resolution
IMHO unnecessary for your layout

If you don't understand absolute positioning and CSS, recommend you redo the sites to be just tables w/o any absolute positioning

PS
FYI - the shape/word art is only visible to users of IE5+ and also uses absolute positioning

Hi there,

I too had this problem, one particular page in my sight being built almost
entirely of layers. I cut all the layers out and built with tables, but
unfortunately there is still a discrepancy.

I have Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer and the sight looks perfect in
Firefox but odd in the others. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there
some kind of standardising software I can download? I'm using tables
exclusively.

It's a book-blurb section, the layout is a jpeg cover pic with the text
blurb next to it. There are several blurbs and coverpics there, and they're
all typed up and arranged in the same cell as one might arrange them in
Microsoft Word. Problem is, the pics keep jumping up or down - depending on
which browser I view the page in.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Can you post a link to your page?
