The question I have is:
1: I am using VS.NET and creating an ASPX web app with VB.
The problem is probably easy, I cannot figure out why on my screen at 600 x 800 with a 15" monitor all labels and pictures look good then when I try to view it on a bigger screen like a 17" it jumbles everything. I changed my 15" monitor 1024 x 768 and everything still looks good but on the 17" it is not working. Would someone look at my web sight with a 17 "monitor and tell me what I am doing wrong?

www.martellcigarcompany.com is the sight

Thanks: ThatsMe
 
Hmm.. Im on 17" 1024x768 and it looks fine (except for the horizontal scroll bar which should probably be fixed).

Can you take some screenshots to show us?

EDIT:
Btw, what browser & version are you running? Sometimes its just a compatibility issue in that older versions read html a little differently.
 
I think I fixed the scroll bar problem.

I tried to print a screen shot from the 17" that was having the viewing problems but it printed the way it should look.

As far as my browser type I have "IE v6" on the the comp that I use to program with( the 15"). The one with the 17" is older "IE" that came with win 98.

Does all the text on the left side lined up good? like the phn number, is it all on one line? does anything overlap for you?

Maybe it just is the older browser, is there any way around it if it is a problem with the version? Thanks for the quick reply
 
Nothing over laps.. the horizontal bar is gone. Not sure where the phn number is but the menu looks good.

My guess is just the older browser and its reading the HTML thats being produced differently then it should be. It could just be that some of the HTML code youre using just isnt supported by the older browsers. I havent done HTML in so long (about 4 years or so now) that I dont even recognize some of the code thats used.

Off of the top of my head, though, the older browser may be having trouble interpretting this;

Code:
<a id="HyperLink12" href="http://www.martellcigarcompany.com/Shop_Cigars.aspx" 
style="color:#E0E0E0;font-size:Medium;height:4px;LEFT: 16px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 452px">Shop for Virgin Cigars</a>

I dont ever recall being able to use styles inside link tags. But like I said, its been a while.. and my memory is not that good. :(

I can only suggest 2 thinks;

1) Update the browser on the 17" screen and see if thats indeed the issue.
2) Download Netscape (yes, it sucks, but its picky as heck about HTML code) and see if it shows up funky on there.

Maybe its just a fluke *shrug* Who knows, but you should try and find out.

Hopefully someone with up-to-date HTML knowledge will respond. Sorry I cant help you any more then I already have.
 
Thanks so much for the reply. I think I figured it out. As I said I am using VS.net and it has a setting for target Browser and it was set to I think IE 3.6 or something, I changed it to IE 4 and now the 17" is displaying it good. So it looks as though you are right on the older browser and interpretting the HTML code. Thanks again.
