I have designed web page using Frontpage2000.
Once completed, I tested locally to make sure everything works. But problem appeared after i upload the files to the hosted site.
When I use a different PC to check on the site, the alignment and the font been changed. This make my design look horrible.
How to solve this problem? I want everyone to see exactly the way I designed it.

One of the first things you can check is that the company that is hosting the your site is accepting the FRontPage 2000 extnsions. Alot of hosting sites are not using them if it is just for personal reasons, but will for commercial sites.

I raninto this problem with my local ISP.

Any questions please e-mail me back.

If the fants are not installed on the recipient machine, they won't be displayed correctly.

both posters are correct - that you should have front page extensions installed correctly also the viewers computer needs the same fonts isntalled on it, most of the time, and also are they using the same browser as you are, if not they need to alsothey need the settings fo the browser to be the same, meaning that they don't have style sheets turned off and the like in there properties.

Different browsers will effect the apprerence. To help with the alignment, put your data within tables whereby you can control the width and height.Use CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 within the table tag to control resting one table directly on another.

Everybody is right. I have a suggestion though. Please structure your pages with the help of tables - The less the better - But do not use Width= 100%(percentages) - you will get the best result with any browser using width=600(in Pixels). I understand you want your page to adjust automatically, But infortunatly Browsers are not built likewise to understand each other. Keep width in pixels in mind. A final suggestion. refrain from using Frontpage or any other Editors. The best way to code HTML is using a notepad or wordpad.
