I created a webpage at www.dobco.net. My computer is running on 2000 Professional, and it looks good. It looks good on all 2000 computers that I've looked at. However, if I open the website on an XP Pro machine and go to Sales -> Frequently Asked Questions, the responses are no longer aligned perfectly like they were when I looked at it on 2000 Pro. Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks!

Because you've used   &nbsp
meaning the space bar to position items on the page.

Different browser font settings make the spaces have different
widths which causes the items to "shift."
Place the items in a table or cell and use the align
buttons on the toolbar to position them.

Also, did you see my response to your Search Buttons post.

It may be because you are using spaces to align text. Look at your source
and you'll see all the   marks which are 'web code' for space.

Instead of laying out your lists by hand, try using the built in HTML list
capability. To do so, just highlight your list and click the number list
button on your toolbar, or, click "Format | Bullets and Numbering..."
(Note, that's how it is on FP2003, but it should be the same, or at least
close on FP2000.)

For your answer list, just copy the question list and indent the responses
(use the "Indent" button on the toolbar").

Play around a little and you should see what I'm talking about.

This will keep your list nice and clean and, if you ever add a new question,
will automatically renumber.

Good luck!
