simoncfc Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 good day, as a novice im sure i will be asking a question that has been asked since web developing can to be. i have created a site (basic) using a Mac pc and all is good the container is set to a decent size (1200px) but when i view it on windows (ie) it becomes distorted in that the header is shorter than the body and so on. now i know some browsers see pages differently but what i want to know is, is there a script or line of code which can be used to allow all browsers to see the sites? any help would be awesome thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoncfc Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Rather than guess what you are attempting to describe you might want to simply post a link to it.i am unable to post a link purely because it is on my localhost server and not live. it is not a difficult process to imagine really, when using local host on my mac the site is fine when i transfer it via usb to a windows machine the site is distorted ie the header is shorter than the width of the body and son on......................................... as previously mentioned i am a novice and therefore need help i have attached a screen shot of my site front page Edited January 8, 2013 by simoncfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is it possible that this has nothing to do with browsers, and a lot to do with different screen resolutions used on your two different monitors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescientist Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 depends on your CSS, i.e. relative (%, em) vs. absolute (px, pt) units for widths, heights, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
