scrambled home page on different computers

I just published my website for my small business in FP2003. I am not a
techie, am confused reading all the 'code' recommendations for similar
problems and have looked up more questions & answers on this site 'till I'm
dizzy. I'm pretty sure problem is browser compatibility. Home page looks
scrambled on certain pcs (at my day job) and with family members laptops. My
pc uses IE, 7.0,and has Net 7.0, i'm sure other pcs with scrambled pages are
either using mozilla or earlier IE. Browser compatibility report says 1
problem, line 13, IE 4.0/Navigator 4.0 attribute LEFTMARGIN is not permitted
for the <BODY> tag. could this be it or is it more serious? Don't know how
to fix this if this is it! I used tools, page options & lowered it to IE4.0.
site is: wnwntextiles.com. Please help this newbie! Would be very
grateful!!!

LEFTMARGIN would not cause the page to be scrambled on any browser, as it is a IE only setting for
the left margin.

Your problem is related to using VML Graphics (Word Art, Text Boxes, Shapes, etc.) which is only
supported in IE browsers under Windows and also uses absolute positioning, etc.

You also have used the space bar to position items, use Edwardian Script ITC font that will not be
on too many PCs, so those folks will see your text in times roman.

Remove all spaces from folder and file names.

Thanks for speedy reply. Times Roman text was seen, also logo was on left
side, and title of company skewed Is this the space problem? Also full page
could not be viewed, had to move bar at bottom of screen to see whole page.
Really am a newbie, how do I delete spaces from folders and file names. feel
like a moron, if you could be more specific, thanks.
