Business associates of mine indicate that when they open my website www.asphaltcare.com. It does not appear as it does when I open my own webpage. The font's and text boxes are sometimes unreadable or in a different location than I put them. Sometimes the verbage is overlapping. The website looks perfectly formatted when I open it from my computer. Is there a way to fix this? Does anyone know why this happens? Need help ASAP. THANKS!!

I tried the link and the site was not found, so I have to
guess at this...
Fonts- always use standard fonts. If the client machine
does not have the font it will replace it. If you really
need to use some fancy script then place that text into a
GIF image.
Locations- avoid the use of absolute positioning as
different browsers will skew it. Place text and graphics
into tables and size the tables as a percentage and not as a
pixel count.

Thank you. I can view the page now and he is using
funky-fonts also. Displays quite differently between
Firebird & IE. Firebird actually displays the 1 font (Andy)
and IE does not, and it is not installed on my computer
anyways.

: Good guess, it uses absolute positioning.
