Hi everyone/anyone!

I have some similar problems to another person on here with the latest Internet Explorer - it completely mashes up my website.. and I don't know how to fix it. I displays just fine on Firefox and earlier IE versions - both on PC and Mac platforms. I'm new to web design - have taught myself Go Live and produced the site on a Mac. A programmer friend thinks that Go Live is the problem - as a drag and drop type of web program. Any thoughts as to how I can get it to view accurately in IE 7 - without doing a complete rebuild ? I would be eternally greatful! Please see www.redripple.com.au

Thanks !

You have everything specified in absolute pixels. This pretty much guarantees that on the computer on which you designed, with your settings for font size etc., it looks just how you want. Unfortunately, elsewhere it looks a complete mess.

There is no way to "correct" something like this. I would throw it away and start again.

At 1024x768 (which is about what 80% of the WWW surf at) I get major horizontal scrolling in Firefox 2.0.0.3.

You use CSS yet you use things like <spacer> and <font>.
