Browser compatibility

[G-town]

I have published a web site - http://theologicaluofa.com - which has quite a few pages. I used FP 2003 with an XP Professional operating system. The site appears ok on my computer - and, strangely, on my daughter's MAC - but when I access it on a 98 operating system, the pages of the site appear twice the size that they do on my computer and my daughter's computer. I have asked various friends to see how it appears on their computers and for some the site appears correct, for others it is greatly enlarged. Scroll bars appear across the bottom and side.

I would like for the site to appear uniformly like it does on my computer.

I will appreciate all assistance and suggestions you may have to correct this compatibility problem.
Thanks very much.
G-town

It's the monitor/screen resolution settings on individual computers, not the
O/S. You need to learn about designing for different sizes. Do a search on
Google for "web design for screen resolution", for example, and come up with
hits such as:

Thanks very much, Tom. I will certainly read your references and run the phrase on the search machine.

G-town, and others, I run a resolution of 1024 x 768 and I had the scroll
bars. Looking at your source code, I see:

<!--webbot bot="ImageMap" text=" (0,0) (874, 52) {THE THEOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
OF AMERICA} {Georgia} 18 B #ff0000 CT 0 " BORDER="0"
SRC="homepagedecor3.gif" WIDTH="1001" HEIGHT="46" ALIGN="top"
U-ORIGINALSRC="homepagedecor3.gif"
U-OVERLAYSRC="_overlay/index.html_txt_homepagedecor3.gif" startspan -...

and I am wondering if the width of "1001" is the culprit. That is awfully
long for an image. See if you can play with it and take it down to 800 or
less (17" monitors users prefer 800 x 600?-at least every one I know and
work with) and see if this fixes the issue for most everyone who provided
you with the feedback of the scroll bars. Just a guess.
