How do I get my webpage to look the same on different computers?

[Guest]

I created a webpage using FrontPage and on some computers it looks fine and
on some computers the text and spacing is wrong. Is there something I can do
in FrontPage to correct this?

It's amazing how often this post is made and answered. It's always the
same....

..shape { behavior: url(#default#VML) }

Get rid of your WordArt/vml if you want the site to look the same (or at
least you want to attack the primary culprit). FP should give you a warning
when you try to use this stuff.

(By the way - Monotype Corsiva is not a websafe font face)

Murray -
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to FrontPage and Html.
When you say "Get rid of your WordArt/vml" what exactly does that mean? I
didn't use word art when setting up the page. Do I have to get rid of the
picture? Or is there a change I have to do to the HTML code?

Thanks for the tip about Monotype Corsiva font. I didn't know that.

From here through the rest of your page is all WordArt -

<p align="center"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t202"
coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="202" path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe">
<v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>
<vath gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/>
</v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_s1025" type="#_x0000_t202" alt=""
style='position:absolute;
left:235.5pt;top:161.25pt;width:344.25pt;height:261pt;z-index:1'
fillcolor="#ffc"
stroked="f">
<v:fill opacity="0"/>
<v:textbox>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>

I guess the best thing would be to start over and stay away from that nasty
stuff! 8)

These pages look like they were done in Microsoft Word - were they?

I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. (Sigh) Yes, the majority of
the pages were done in Microsoft. I think the problem is occuring because I
have a text box next to the picture. I thought that would help with spacing,
but instead it's making it worse. Thanks for all your help.

It's amazing how many people will attempt to make a web page without ever
even considering buying a book on HTML before starting.

Well, FP *is* marketed as being targeted at those who don't know and don't
want to learn HTML, right?

Then they lay traps for you like Word Art.

But to build pages in Microsoft Word, and then upload them to the web is
nearly the same as building them with Publisher <shudder>.

Altrost:

Sorry about your predicament. None of these comments are really directed at
you. We all lament how many people get stuck in these black holes....
