I modified a document from our web designers to try and clean up the look and make it a workable document for future revisions. I basically changed the filenames, lined up the structure of the file by using carriage returns and removed (what i thought was unnecessary) javascript. Unfortunately, the modified file doesn't look like the original file. Can someone please help?<br />
<br />
The original file is located at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.portadome.com/photo.htm">http://www.portadome.com/photo.htm</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
The modified file is located at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.portadome.com/newdir/photo.htm">http://www.portadome.com/newdir/photo.htm</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
Thanks in advance. I believe that the problem lies somewhere in the DIV commands used. I have never worked with this command suspect the problem is somewhere within these commands. Thanks again.<br />

<br />
ozdemir23<!--content-->Speaking for myself, I'm not sure what others think about this, but it's hard to jump straight into someone else's code, I find it almost impossible.<br />
<br />
So my advice to you is to pick one of the following:<br />
* start again and only change one thing at a time to see where you went wrong<br />
or<br />
* start from scratch and try to replicate what you see as best you can<br />
or<br />
* wait for a few hours until someone who can read code straight off the bat turns up<br />
or<br />
* wait a week or so until I find the problem.<!--content-->fair enough. you're right. i can't expect someone to just be able to take the code and find a needle in the haystack right off the bat. so, i will try your suggestion of starting over and changing one thing at a time. that's the best solution i can think of right now. thanks.<br />

ozdemir23<!--content-->On my machine they are almost identical in IE6, but<br />
<br />
1) you've used slightly different text which causes linebreaks.<br />
<br />
(in two cases - teledome demonstration and anytown us.)<br />
<br />
2) Your photobar pictures are darker. If they are definitely the same ones, use an image editing picture to lighten them.<br />
<br />
I can give you some screenshots of what I see if you want them. Other than that if you modify the text to be the same, and lighten those pictures they will be the same on my machine. <br />
<br />
By the way, have you considered what would happen if someone had the font size set to large in their browser?<!--content-->Hey thanks for the reply. It should be identical now. I took the advice of the first reply to go back and redo slowly - reloading everytime I change something. It should the same though.<br />
<br />
About the text size being set to large, yes and no. I have thought of it, but the guys who designed the site were so fed up with all of my comments that I couldn't squeeze anything else out of them - including what we agreed in writing (e.g. a video that is NOT an MOV file). Anyway, any idea on how I can avoid the personal settings on someone's browser?<br />
<br />
Or, for that matter - any idea on how I can convert this mammoth Quicktime file into, say, a Windows Media File?<br />
<br />
Thanks again.<br />

As regards text size. In your case your page is unreadable with text size adjusted, so I suggest you use the css text-size:12px; wherever you need to. So either in your tags which contain the text you want changed, <p style="text-size:12px;"> <br />
<br />
or for the entire document you can use<br />
<style type="text/css"><!--<br />
BODY {font-size:12px;}<br />
--></style><br />
in the head section of your document.<br />
<br />
Change 12px to whatever is appropriate.<!--content-->
