How can I make sure that anyone logging onto my website
sees the same things? I have had a bunch of friends test
my site and most of them see the same thing. Some see
different fonts, no pictures, some stuff is missing. Any
idea why and how to fix it?
 
Jessica,

The best way to make sure most people see the same thing
is to test your pages in several browsers. In FP, you
can go to File>Preview in Browser and then select your
browser type and res. size.

For example a simple margin tag can view differently on
Netscape than it does in IE, because FP inserts
the "Topmargin" / "Leftmargin" which is supported in IE,
but Netscape recognizes the "Marginwidth" / Marginheight".

People can choose in their browser how they want their
web content. For example by going to View>Text Size (in
your browser) you can adjust the font size. You can also
turn images off, and there really isn't much you can do.

Hope it helps,
JDR
 
Jessica,
I've discovered that you can control things a lot more by using cascading
style sheets. Using CSS and custom text styles, viewers won't be able to
use larger text sizes on their browser. Be careful...that may bum some
people out. Also, I use exact pixel values for all tables (and their
cells), rather than percentages.

I haven't figured out a way to force people to view the images.

Hope that helps.
