More details would be helpful, but one thing comes to mind. If you are
viewing on different machines with same browser and OS is the screnn
resolution the same. Fixed width tables will not display the same on a
display using 800 x 600 as 1280 x 960 if the fixed table width is greater
than 800. The same is true is some cases with DIVs depending on how they
are used.

If this is the case you will have to test for screen resolution on the
client and redirect to an appropriateley designed page for that screen size,
use relative width tables, use a fixed size design that is suitable on a
smaller screen resolution that will have some unused space on larger display
resolutions or some other method.

A fixed width width table (less than 760px wide) will display exactly
the same on any browser opened to at least 800px wide, no matter what
screen resolution is used. And wider fixed width tables will also be
the same, but with part cut off and a horizontal scrollbar to move to
the missing part.

Knowing screen resolution will not help, and in many cases will cause
even more problems. Consider that many users have high resolution
screens, but do not have their browsers open to full screen - a page
designed for 1280x1024 displayed in a browser opened at 800x600, with
screen res of 1280x1024, will give undesirable horizontal scrollbars..
