Website looks different on PC's internet

I successfully downloaded my website. I've pulled it up on several Mac's and it looks great... but it's completely bunkter when I try to view it on different PCs. The format is different with differnt fonts, things aren't aligned right and it takes a long time to load.
Is there something I can do to fix this, like stream-lining the format or something?
Thanks
Erin

Erin:
First did you use Web Safe Fonts? If not then the Windows machines will substitute a font it has available for the missing font. You can force a font box to turn into an image file so it will look the same on all computers but lose the option to select text, etc. To do that add a drop shadow to the font and set the opacity to zero using the Font pane.
Be advised that PCs running Internet Explorer are ages behind all of the other available browsers for PCs and never will display the site as good as Safari or Firefox.
Can you give us the URL so we can examine it first hand?

Why does Muse website look different Mac vs. PC

Why do adobe muse websites look different on a Mac vs. PC? www.915day.com for example. Looks great on my mac, but when you go to the PC version it looks zoomed in at least 25-35%? Why? (I have thus adjusted it to look good on a PC.) Frustratingly, to center the Logo for one platform, means to put it off center on the other. Defeats the whole purpose of Parallax scrolling. Also, who would pay so much a month to the creative cloud if they can't even offer their clients continuity? I understand there is a difference between older browsers and new, but it tests the same way even on a new browser (Windows 8 browsers). I have tried adjusting the canvas to the exact measurements of the screen on my PC but it renders the same. Also I have turned on the HiDPI just to see if that was the case. Still no fix. There is only one instance of this in the forums and it has still gone unanswered. So I am asking in greater detail why this is an issue.
Anyone?

I tried to check the site display in multiple browsers on both Mac and windows , but I was not able to verify the issue.
I believe you have already resolved the issue.
Thanks,

HELP! Please :) my website looks different in different browsers. Link boxes are showing in IE!!

Please help me! I'm pretty new to web design. Built this website from scratch - designed in photoshop and put together in dreamweaver. I launched the site and it looks great in safari, but had a friend look at it with explorer and the blue link boxes (the one that lets you know you have something linked in dreamweaver) are showing up on the interent explorer browser and I can only assume there are issues in other browsers as well. Please help if you can. Here is a link to my website:   www.shandryntrumble.com Thanks

Thanks for your help!Should I create an external style sheet? I'm still unsure of where and what to put in the document. Where are the CSS tags? And what exactly do I place in them? Sorry, I'm so new to this. Thanks for your patience.

Bad information. You don't need a class for this. Simply add the following CSS code to your style sheet. An external style sheet is preferred but it if you don't have one yet, add this code to the CSS inside the tags of your HTML document. /*remove borders from all linked images*/a img    Nancy O.

There are 3rd party apps you can get that can help a bit, but I think the main answer is that if you are using templates and graphic rich features of iWeb, the code it generates is pretty complex, a side effect of making it easy to use. All that code gives wiggle room to different browsers and generations of browsers to reproduce it differently.
My approach is just to keep things as simple as possible, and start with blank pages rather than templates. Because I keep my pages streamlined, they're universally compatible.

My website looks different in internet explorer.

Greetings and thanks in advance for great service that we provide
I created a website in iweb www.webworldpr.com in Firefox looks good in Internet Explorer looks different. I can do. I would like to know is web site maestro can solve this problem.

The iWeb for Musicians website is optimized with Web SIte Maestro and appears to work OK in IE 7 & 8. If I look at it using Safari User Agent the background image drops out etc.
The latest version of WebCrusher has this....
"iWeb websites are known for their incompatibility with Internet Explorer. We tested hundreds of iWeb sites and came up with a step by step guide to making your iWeb site work with Internet Explorerand built this functionality into WebCrusher."
I do have WebCrusher but I haven't tested this feature as I don't have a PC running WIndows anymore.
The only way I can think that I could help you out here is if you send me a copy of a Domain file or the folder of published files and I'll run it through the app to see if it fixes your problem before you have to think about buying it.

In FF4, why does my website looks different when www is omitted

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/814715''
My site looks different when I use www in the address and when I omit www. Look at http://www.dynapipe.co.uk and http://dynapipe.co.uk.
This doesn't happen with FF3 or IE7, 8 or 9 or Google Chrome, only FF4

Why does my website look different in Internet Explorer

Hello there I'm currently working on an eportfolio for school, however when using internet explorer my navigation bars look like this

Please let me know.

It depends how much you want to learn about html and css.
If you're not all too interested/worried about web design in general (not really planning to become a pro web designer), you're fine with the current layout. It functions and isn't going to hurt you financially if it breaks under certain settings.
If you do have an interest in professional web design, you really should learn to code before you "learn Dreameaver". That way you can skip all of the traps built into it for novice designers (especially APDivs).
Take some time to run the tutorials for HTML and CSS here: http://www.w3schools.com
That will give you a lot of the basics.

My website looks different!

Hello, I need some help please. I created a website using
Dreamweaver MX. i upload mypages by logging into bluehost and using
their ftp. Anyway for a while my website was fine and no problems.
I updated it last week in dreamweaver, but when i upload it to blue
host it hasnt changed. I added some new links on the index page and
saved it as I should, then went to blue host and replaced the index
page with my new one (still called index) but its no different,
even though when i view it iin my files (offline) the new one
displays with the new links. I have tried deleteing my cookies,
temp internet files but no joy!. My we address is
www.nicolaparks.co.uk. Anyone got any ideas what is going on here??
Thanks Nicola

More than likely you are seeing a cached version of your
original index.htm
file. Try Ctrl-F5 to fetch the new version from your server.
I had the same
problem and thought just F5 would refresh but it only fetches
a locally
cached file, perhaps at your ISP's servers. Ctrl-F5 will
definitely fetch
the version thats on your host server so if that still wrong
you'll need to
look at other solutions.

Website looks different on different computers (even on ipod touch)

I created a website using iweb and I understand that different browsers show things differently but on my computer (MAC) when I open it in Firefox and Safari I see the same thing, but when friends who are also using Firefox, Safari, and Macs check it out they see something different. I checked on my work computer which is a PC and used Firefox and i still saw the same thing (the way it should look). A friend sent me a screen shot of what she was seeing which was basically what shoudl have been the entire webpage but it showed in the upper left corner of the browser instead of it filling up the whole page. I then went to the website on my ipod touch and saw what she was seeing. I had a few other friends check it out, mostly macs but i had them look with both Safari and Firefox and some people saw it the correct way and some didnt. Any ideas?

Make sure you are using web-safe fonts.....

Website looks different on mobile devices

I know that I can create phone and tablet versions of my Muse website, but I actually don't want a different layout. When I visit my published desktop site on mobile devices, the site's layout looks justified to the left. I have checked to make sure that the page is centered horizontally in the page properties. It looks fine on desktop browsers, but I have a narrow blank strip on the right side of my pages when viewed on mobile devices.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

Hello,
I would request you to shae the site URL so that we can take a look at it.
Mostly this happens when you place any object outside the browser fill area. Please make sure everything is in side the browser area.
Please refer to the liks below for more explaination.

My website looks different on a pc to my mac!??

Hi Could someone help me with why the photos on my site are a lot bluer when you look at it on a pc than on the mac. It is beena.org.uk

Different monitors, different graphics cards, different color calibrations, etc. There's not much there you can control....

Why the website looks different in different browsers?

Hello,
I coded my website in Dreamweaver CS4, and let it go:
http://www.lidesign.cc
The problem is that it looks fine in Firefox, Safari, Opera but when I opened it in Explorer 7, some line appeared after header and also there is no space between paragraphs. Could me somebody help and say why it is so? I'm attaching also the photo, how it looks in the Explorer 7:
here how it looks in Safari and other browsers:
Thank you vey much in advance!

You have some CSS errors.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. lidesign.cc%2Findex.html
You have quite a bit of un-needed code in your CSS. To remove borders from images and linked images you need only 2 lines of code:
/**NO BORDERS ON IMAGES**/
img { border: none}
a img {border: none;}
You can delete the rest of this:
a:link img {
    border: none;
    border-style: none;
    text-decoration: none;
    a:vlink img {
    border: none;
    border-style: none;
    text-decoration: none;
    a:alink img {
    border: none;
    border-style: none;
    text-decoration: none;
If your layout doesn't behave in IE, add Conditional Comments between the <head> and </head> tags of your documents like so.

Hope this helps,
Nancy O.

Website looks different on Windows machines

I have made a website using iweb08. I publish using iwebseo on MacHighway. My website consists of columns of information and each column has its own textbox. It looks perfect on my mac when called up on the web. However, when I use a Windows machine almost everything looks out of wack. All of the columns or headings look like they have moved one way or another a couple of spaces, sometimes more. How can I get the information to look the same on both types of machines?
Thank you for your time.

This may or may not help you, but to get around "web safe/unsafe fonts" I make them hyperlinks and just link them to the same page... For example, I create a separate text boxes for the navigation bar rather using the one provided since I find the text bland. I use whatever text I want that is in my library then I make it a hyperlink. Do NOT highlight the word or words when making it a hyperlink. Just select it so that the dotted square is around it.... make it a hyperlink then you can use whatever fonts you like. Then when selecting where it should lead to, select "one of my pages" and make it the same page that you are working on. (hope that makes sense...
And hope that helps.

I am using firefox 4 and my website looks different in the LCD and Laptop(both with same screen resolutions). The same looks ok with firefox 3.6. Why i am getting this difference?

I am using firefox 4 and i can see difference in the laptop and the lcd. The site looks fine with firefox 3.6 for both and also for all the browsers. Only for firefox 4, things are getting screwed in laptop, as it looks fine for the LCD.
You can see this link as an example.
http://www.automationanywhere.com/products/automation-software-enterprise.htm.
Even the footer doesnt shows the css in laptop, but the same is fine for LCD.
NOTE: I have tested this on most laptops.

Well I see that you and I share the same problem, I posted the same type of question and am anxiosly awaiting replies on this topic, as it is very important
I own a small business, and every hour a customer cannot view my site is a customer lost to incompatibility issues.
I hope someone can help answer these issues.

Why does my newly published website look different in every browser?

It looks closest to what I created when viewing in IE. Graphics are screwed up in Firefox, and colors are wrong in Safari. Also, my add to cart buttons work in Firefox and Safari but not in IE. Can anyone help??

You need to be aware of the limitations of the various browsers and make sure you use web-safe fonts and colors.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/FontsandColors.html
Do a Command A on all your pages in iWeb to make sure that objects/text boxes are not touching or overlapping.
Firefox has problems with displaying drop shadows/frames etc.
To get help with specific issues you would need to tell us the URL of our site.
