Web Page Advice


Question

Greetings all..

I'll TRY to make a long story short here ...if it's possible..

Me and some freinds of mine are in the PROCESS .. on establishing a Haunted attraction in our area..

One of our board members decided to design a webpage(verey basic..no java or flash) using webs..com. ( or more previously known as freewebs.com, if i remeber correctly ) and they were using Firefox(as far as I am aware most recent version) as a browser of thier choice when creating the page.

Many have said it might be the "resolution " between diffrence,using a laptop and destop.. or may be the version of IE that is being used .. or a setting in IE

Be that as it is , we are having an issue as far as the "alignment" of our web page.

Whenever it is rendered in any brower(Chrome,Firefox etc.) .. other than MS Internet Explorer.. it looks the way it supopsed to .... ( centered and what have you ).

HOWEVER ... when looked at in any version of Internet Explorer everything is "off center".

Website: http://www.night-terrors.webs.com/

We have tested the coding (HTML and Source) with quie a few of the "popular" testing sites..and to be honest it doest really make sense..as to where the issue is .

Any help as far as looking into the source code.. or any "critique" is welcome.... again we as only looking for a BASIC site ,,, nothing flashy .. just want it to look correct across all platforms.

Help would be appreciated :)

All you need is a valid Doctype+Charset, I think. At the moment your page doesn't have one. Does webs.com allow you to set one?

Quick stab in dark put width value in body tag.

I always found doing main container using id css # to fix to center.

Ignore you done that.

Not sure as far as "Doctype+charset" regarding if webs allows to set that or not ..

where IF that is the issue ... should it be put ??

IM NOT at all familiar with HTML or web design and to be perfectly honest I'm more used to a WYSIWYG type of stuff and going from there .. .. im not the one ( as mentioned) who did the site ..

Thank you for the help..
