Web Pages

First of all I posted this question in another community,
but not sure which one, so I will start again.

I am in charge of our organizations website. When I go
and look at the website through IE, every page looks
perfect (office computer), but if I was to go home and
look at the website from my home computer the images are
not lined up right, and in some web pages, the fonts of a
title are off.(not centered)

What is causing this and what would i need to do to keep
my webpages looking the way I see them when viewing in IE.
(perfect)

Also, how do I keep unneccessary code from being in my
code. Example:&nbsp. I would like to keep my code as
clean as possible. Thank you

You will need to provide the URL to the site. The &nbsp is added anytime you click the space bar
more than once, so avoid using to position content on your pages, use tables.

How a site turns out depends on a lot of factors - a computer's screen
resolution, size of the screen (the physical monitor sitting on your desk i.e.
15" 17", 12" ) etc.

Also depends on the browser you're using. Different browsers have different tool
bars (that take up screen space otherwise taken up by the actual site contents).
Opera for instance has a lot of tool bars and also advertising banners.

Each browser has its own way of interpreting HTML, and also various browsers
support/don't support certain tags, or have an equivalent tag.

e.g. leftmargin= is an IE setting but marginwidth= is the Netscape/other
setting - does the same thing - sets the 'indent' of the left margin on the
browser screen.

Some support table height tag (actually this is not valid HTML at all), some
support table cell background pics, others don't etc.

It's best to design for the user in general (taking into account all their
different system configurations and so on - of course you can't guess every
single variation of this, but try to work to an 'average' ), not for your browser
on your computer at work.

This NG is a good place to ask people to test your site, as members will have
different configs and systems.

URL?

  may be a necessary code element. It is created by pressing the space
bar two or more times, or is used to place a character in an otherwise empty
table cell.   (non-breaking space) also has other legitimate uses.

Hi Thomas:

This is Elaine, again, of course. Can you please take a
look at my site, and see if you get any of those problems
I mentioned. The website is: www.nooksack-tribe.org.
Thanks and it is good to see you back on line. I hope you
received my card.

Here is the website address: www.nooksack-tribe.org

On my home computer display, when looking at the heading
on some of my webpages they are in a 12pt font, but should
be in a 14pt/18pt. Check it out, and thank you for your
reply. My site is a KISS........

Elaine,

I think you meant to send this to me privately, but that is ok. I did receive your card, thank you
very much.

Elaine,

A quick look, the font size appears to be the same, but on some pages you have specified the font to
use, so it will default to the browser's default, Times Roman.

Look fine here in IE6 at 1280 x 1024 (approx 800 pixel wide browser window).

In the page House_of_Children.htm you are using the space bar to position
images and text - this generates the   you see in the code, and will
cause the images to move around a little in different browsers.
Using a table to layout the page will eliminate most, if not all, of these
problems, and the formatting buttons Align Left, Centre, and Align Right
should also help.
There is also an image of a school bus that has been badly placed using
Absolute Positioning. Again a table layout along with the alignment
properties would place this correctly.

The same advice may apply to all your pages, though this is the only one I
checked.

Elaine,

Take a look at your site in IE and try setting the text size to "larger" and
"largest" (View | Text Size.) I think you'll see that the text runs behind
the photo. Visitors with poor eyesight may use these settings.

Just FYI.
