My website appears jumbled on newer computers

[Guest]

My site was developed using Front Page 2003. More and more visitors to my
site are telling me that the letters and images are jumbled and hard to view.
Please help.

Thanks

Post a URL, please.

Most of us don't have a crystal ball, so it would be helpful if you would
provide a URL to the site so people can take a look at it ;-)

The URL is www.century21stan.com

My guess is that it's probably all that hidden text you've got in your HTML.

 

[Steve Easton]

Because you're using absolute positioning which does not display properly in all browsers.

That said, you're page will "possibly" never be listed by search engines because it violates
the policies of the "good ones"

Eliminate the hidden text. "All of it," including the excessive keywords and description

The file size for the page is over 226kb. "not good"

If keywords don't match the words visible in the text on the page they are ignored. ( and so
is the page)

Thanks for your and accessment of our site.....I will remove the absolute
positioning. What level of positioning would you suggest?

 

[Guest]

Hidden text isn't the problem....but thanks for trying!

 

[Steve Easton]

Just use the standard positioning tools on the Tool Bar
and don't fall into the trap of using the space bar to position images and text.

in all browsers.

Sure it does. It's just not properly used by all developers. 8)

Not to mention mention extreme sleaze factor attained by attempting to
capitalize on the misfortune of others in an attempt to draw people to the
site via the search engines.

Maybe the Century 21 main office would like like to be made aware of the
practices of some of their agents.

[Bob Lehmann]

You're a total slime-ball.

Maybe the Century 21 main office would like like to be made aware of your
sleazy tactics.

Bob Lehmann

 

[Bob Lehmann]

I suggest that you absolutely position your site up your *ss.

Bob Lehmann

 

[Uncle Joe]

How would you suggest developers properly apply absolute positioning?
Curious minds want to know how.

 

[Uncle Joe]

I'm deeply distressed to discover that I'm the only Georgian not
included in your site's mammoth
list of keywords. What did I do to you, Stan?

 

[Bob Lehmann]

Hidden text isn't the problem
You're right. Disgusting, bottom-dwelling parasites, such as youself, are
the problem.

Bob Lehmann

 

[Bob Lehmann]

Must be due to the garbage / human waste sitting at the keyboard doing the
typing.

In case you can't tell; You make me sick, Stan.

Bob Lehmann

 

[Tom Pepper Willett]

Okay, Bob..how do you really feel? ;-)

Boy, I'm glad you and I are friends!!!

BTW, Stan - I registered a complaint at Century 21 corporate. Maybe you
should hurry up and do a little housecleaning before they look at your site.

Also, here's a little something for you to read up on between sleazy
ventures -
