I have published a website and the webpages are diffeent on different
computers.On one everything is aligned properly on six others the text boxes
are onthe edge instead of centered. Pictures cover text boxeswith their
descriptionetc.

The website domain name is cpljasonldunhammohdetachment.org
 
Start by removing all of the VML. Text boxes should be avoided on web
sites. They only display correctly in Internet Explorer running on Windows,
and then only if the browser is opened to the same size (or bigger) as your
design. See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics.htm for other
reasons
why VML (VML includes WordArt, textboxes, shapeart) should be avoided.
 
Tis because you're using textboxes, and other stuff from the Draw toolbar
which rely on VML and absolute positioning...aside from that they are also
pretty much IE proprietary and may not even display on other browsers. Dump
the textboxes and create images for your banner and stuff. And don't use
your space bar as a layout tool...space appear in your code as &nbsp.

Use tables to arrange your images. That will keep them in the order and
placement that you wish.
In the Opera, Netscape and Firefox, things were pretty well messed up.
 
The first thing to do is get yourself a copy of FireFox as an Inet Browser
on your Pc and, always code for FireFox. Period! (it doesn't have to be your
default browser - just use it always for your code testing)

In your HTML/CSS code make sure that you always have margin and padding
settings as 0 as a default. e.g <p style="margin:0; padding:0"> or <table
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

or, make a css inline or external entry - td {padding:0; margin:0;} -

Those will solve a lot of Internet Explorer issues. - and, those ARE the
issues.

For the first time in 3 years - last week - I saw more people hit my own
website with FireFox rather than IExplorer.

It's time to punish Microsoft for their continued arrogance in ignoring Web
Standards. Switch Browsers. Their battle is lost.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's arrogance in "customizing" Internet Explorer has
now cost way too many web designers too much time and money to keep up with
their - mistakes!

-My two bits worth. hth.


The same with Tables
