My website lotsalaloveshihtzus.com looks good on my pc and my best friends
but at work its comes up wrong and for another friend it comes up wrong why
can't it look normal for everyone? Is there a setting in Frontpage that says
display/adjust in all browsers so my site will look right?
 
I know. I said that ;-)

Hi blueyedawn,

A couple things stood out to me that might be causing problems.

You have many divs with absolute positioning in your page. Here's an
example:

<div style="position: absolute; width: 54px; height: 826px; z-index: 10;
left: 11px; top: 870px" id="layer12">
<img border="0" src="goldsparkles.gif" width="63" height="870"></div>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 62px; height: 100px; z-index: 11;
left: 672px; top: 866px" id="layer13">
<img border="0" src="goldsparkles.gif" width="63" height="870"></div>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 63px; height: 984px; z-index: 12;
left: 11px; top: 1737px" id="layer14">
<img border="0" src="goldsparkles.gif" width="63" height="889"></div>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 63px; height: 995px; z-index: 13;
left: 672px; top: 1733px" id="layer15">
<img border="0" src="goldsparkles.gif" width="63" height="894"></div>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 594px; height: 659px; z-index: 14;
left: 76px; top: 1250px" id="layer16">

Absolute positioning is not quite as simple as it might seem. If you use
it..but don't really understand it..you are probably looking at the site
appearing different (and not for the better) in different browsers and
resolutions. If you want to position certain things on a page...you might be
better off using tables.

I also saw an area where you used your space bar to try and position images.
That code looks like this:

<img border="0" src="uc2_small22.gif" width="53"
height="59">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<img border="0" src="uc2_small18.gif" width="94"
height="65">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Many browsers will not react well to doing that.

So you might want to look into using tables and cells to hold your page
elements of pictures and text.
