Dreamweaver Webdesign: How do you format words, images, tables, top banner to be the same with IE an

We're working on a website and it looks great in dreamweaver, but when we upload it to the server it looks so different and it looks very different in Internet Explorer but closer to normal in Firefox. I'm quite frustrated because we're working hard on this site and then when it's uploaded the words are pushed over a bit, the top banner isn't fitting to the table size as it shows in dreamweaver, some of the images are pushed over and not lined up properly as they are when working in dreamweaver (CSS isn't even showing up - maybe we have to set the tag to the "cell" rather than "any")



Do you have to "set" things somehow to not move or change at all from what you see in Dreamweaver to when it's viewed on IE or Firefox. I just don't understand why it's all over the place on the browsers.

Unfortunately, you have run into the bane of most web designers. Firefox tends to display, parse and interpret html pages differently than Internet Explorer and vice versa. Dreamweaver also could be causing some of the issues. My best advice is to publish locally and then preview locally through both Firefox and IE. You might also try using a third party web development kit as well so you can tweak some of the issues. There is some freeware out there like WYSIWYG Web Editor and a few others that are closer to "What You See Is What You Get". You can also code to the browser, but the KISS principle applies most of the time.

Hi there... I have noticed the same problem with IE and Firefox... one thing is that if you have one table setting like this table/tr/td align=center .... then all of the tables and cells within will be centered as well... it means that you should be setting each cell to the alignment the way you want them... another detail may be the paragraph set... it looks different on each browser... if you set a text witnin a %26lt;p%26gt; kkk %26lt;/p%26gt;... in IE the table will look the same, while in FIREFOX, the table will expand... I would think that if it is a matter of placing stuff on the page... you should set each cell to the properties you would like to have and not let the mail or top table to rule...



Hope this helps you a little



Good luck
