I made a site on DW that looks great on Firefox, Netscape and
Safari, but IE destroys it (i.e. you open it in IE and the fonts
are all psychotic, the placements are screwed up, etc.)!
Anything I'm doing wrong or should be doing?
Thanks in advance!Displaying site on multiple browsers

IE sucks. The only think you are probably 'doing wrong' is
not fully
understanding the quirks in IE and testing for them. There's
a lot of quirks
and a lot of hacks to fix the various issues with IE.

The site is called www.lasbestprinter.com. It's not the best
printing website you'll find, as I'm just starting with this web
design stuff. First site I've actually built.

Agreed that IE sucks, but what's all this about quirks and
hacks and such? Despite the fact that it sucks, a lot of people
still use it and my site looks like sh** on it.
The way to avoid the ''IE Sucks'' thing is to code your pages
to standards.
IE in standards mode is much better than IE is sucky mode
(quirks mode).
Code to standards by a) knowing the standards, and b) using
valid and
complete doctypes on your pages.
Your page looks fine in IE7, except for some overflow in the
right column,
but I count about a zillion AP Divs on the page. This is
definitely trouble
city. Here's why -

Open your page in FF and bump the text size up one or two
notches. You'll
see....
Also, you have this -

The non-breaking space is not a layout tool!

Thanks, Murray, for the pointers.

True. I'm just getting started on web design and I'm really
shaky (at best) on layout. Div tags placed on the WYSIWYG funtion
on DW is about the best I can do on that, hence the millions that
you see on my pages. I'm learning coding and I've got a basic
understanding of HTML, but tiny spatterings of everything else.
Is there a way around this (millions of Div tags) that I
missed back in Coders Kindygarten?
A good way around what? CSS is usually the answer for all
such questions!
