hello!<br />
<br />
I am in the painful process of creating a VERY BASIC html website to offer our home for sale. I'm using a laptop on the road(i'm a trucker) which has a 15" screen. Everything looks ok, but when my wife clicks the site on her big monitor at home things get off kilter. Is it possible to set my code up for all monitors to view what i see??<br />
<br />
the addy is: <br />

i'm using IE on windows xp home<br />
<br />
any suggestions would be appreciated!<!--content-->Hey,<br />
<br />
I only had a quick moment to view it right now, but what I would like to know is what happens when your wife views it from home. What exactly do you mean by "off kilter"?<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />
p.s. I would turf the hello background sound from the page. Most people find silly little animated gifs, and especially start up sounds that they aren't expecting, VERY annoying!

I just looked at it on my Mac in IE5.2.2 and it looks fine (though the Hello sound detracts from the site in my opinion).<br />

Cheers!<!--content-->sorry i didnt get back to u two. have had a lot of miles to cover and didnt have time to get online. i'll reluctantly delete the 3 stooges. thnx again!<!--content-->It looks just fine to me, ie6 win xp 1024 by 786 resolution. As long as your design is fluid you have no need to worrie.<!--content-->Rick,<br />
<br />
PeOfEo is right... keeping your design fluid or flexible as others may call it is the best way to do your site. <br />
<br />
What is happening is that as you鎶çâ€Â§ looking at the site from different resolutions, you have the main image set to center on the page. So while it may be right above your text on your laptop at home with your wife it's not going to be right over the text anymore.<!--content-->You hit my problem exactly, Pete! However, I'm tooooo<br />
much of a NEWBIE about "keeping your design fluid or flexible". I haven't a clue as to how to accomplish that. A little bit of direction would be GREATLY APPRECIATED when you have a spare moment!<br />
<br />
Thanks for the reply,<br />

Rick...<!--content-->Contain your text and images within an element maybe. Such as a div. This is very over simplified but you might try <br />
<div align="center"><br />
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"yourimage"><br><br />
the text block here<br />
</div><!--content-->I'm familiar enough with <div align> to place images and text and I also know about tables and CSS, however I don't think that is my problem. I think it deals with the resolution, but that's out of my league. No big deal, I can live with it. Again thanks to you and ALL for the replies!<br />
