site looks different

[microsoft news server]

Why is it that the page I design on my computer looks different on some
others? The words move up and overlap, etc. Is there a way to correct this?

A link to the site will help to give a definitive answer, but in
general terms it is because you used any or all of the following:
A fluid layout - tables set to % widths combined with:
Absolute Positioning: The absolutely positioned elements of the page
will not move, but the rest of the page contents will.

This movement occurs when the browser in use has a different size to
that you designed for, and/or the user has adjusted the font size so
that they can read the content comfortably.
