Why does my web design change on different computers when publish

Thanks for looking at this for me. It may have something to do with absolute
positioning I'm thinking....

I tried to change to relative positioning and am having a lot of trouble with
it. Can you build the site without using layers, I tried to use tables and
moving them to a specified area didn't work. After setting up a layer and
moving it where you want it on the web page, then what do I do with the
relative positoning?

I have just looked at the page using Windows/XP and Foxfire 2.0.0.14

It is clear that your positioning has some problems. For instance, about
half of your graphics are not melded together like it looks as if they
should be.

More that one other (more expert than I) has stated that using "absolute
positioning" is a very bad idea. I can see using in on some part of the
upper left corner of the 1st column but after that it would cause many
problems. The explaination I read is that objects that are "absolutely
positioned" are taken out of the rendering flow of the page.

Re-design the page using relative positioning and perhaps percentages
rather than pixel counts. See how you like the results. I would also
wait for Kathryn to weigh in.

I see that it does look different in IE6 and Firefox. I'm not a positioning
guru - I use tables for layout and would probably do that to fix your page.

(Sorry for the delay - I have to go through a proxy server at work and can't
get to every site)
