Why Does my site look different on my computer

My site, www.aaronapter.com, looks completely different on my computer than when I view it on another computer. It actually looks like my browser is accessing the files from my HD instead of the internet. Any ideas why? I ask because I want to fix some errors on my published site, such as a fonts appearing differently and the spacing of a page being totally messed up. Again, this doesn't happen when I view it on my computer, but it does on others. Any help? I'm using iWeb '08.

Is it just fonts? If so, the challenge is that you're using fonts that are only on your system and not others. There's a bit of a tricky fix but it'll force fonts to be graphics.
I'm not too sure about this approach but it seems simple enough: http://podcast.eusd4kids.org/groups/teacherresources/weblog/a91d4/iWeb__fonts_displayed_asgraphics.html
This appoarch is a tad trickier but I found it easy:
http://11mystics.com/2007/09/12/how-can-i-ensure-the-fonts-i-use-will-look-good- on-a-pc/
In short, go to Applications, control-click on iWeb and choose Show Package Contents. Then open Contents, then Resources, and then double-click on FontMapping.plist. Look for the special font that you're using and change false/ to true/like this:
<key>AmericanTypewriter</key>
<dict>
<key>Generic</key>
<string>serif</string>
<key>Image</key>
<true/> <=== change this from false/ to true/
<key>Windows</key>
<string>Courier New</string>

Why does my site look different in chrome, safari and explorer?

Hi,
My site looks ok in Firefox but it looks different in chrome, safari and explorer...
I have already tried to clean the cache and delete cookies, what I have to do?
Thanks for helping!

Hi Livia
I have checked the file and can see that you have used a slideshow for browser background , the page fill is the hero image where the thumbnails are disabled.
If you remove the slideshow then the issue is resolved as the red bar in top and white bar at bottom comes fine with all browsers.
Please remove the slideshow from page background and use the same image as browser fill which will fix the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Why does my site look different live?

When I preview my site in safari or mozilla and even live view, it looks exactly how I want it to look, but when I put the files up, it seems like there is no .css. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Your link to the page did not work for me, I got a 404
You could start by a) checking that your style sheet has uploaded (if you have an external style sheet for your CSS) and/or that your link to the style sheet acurately reflects the file's location i.e. that the path is correct.

Team Blog: Why does my page look different in BrowserLab?

Duane O'Brien, engineer on the BrowserLab team has a new blog post on the BrowserLab Team blog that you might find interesting. It covers when/why you might see rendering differences between the BrowserLab browsers and your local browsers. Good info.

Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?

Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?,
Im using Muse whichj crashes like you would not beleive, but after much perseverance I got a basic 4 page holding site together, I tested the site and it all looked fine, when I uploaded it to the server it looks nothing like the site I tested, to the point that even the background has changed colour and nothing is in the rite place.

Hi John, Sure it's

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 DW site look different depending on computer?

Here are my specs...
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on two computers. One is a 64 bit windows 7 desktop with a 24" widescreen monitor, and the other is a 64 bit windows 7 17" widescreen laptop. I access the site from both computers using a usb external drive (backed up every night). Because I travel a bit, I find that most of the site work I do is on the laptop. As one would hope in a WYSIWYG environment, my design view on the laptop is pretty close to what the uploaded site looks like. Very close. However, when I do need to work on the desktop, the design view will show divs out of place, way over to the right or left as though pushed or something. BUT, when I check the preview and/or upload the page and check it online--everything is fine.
I've learned to ignore it if I know it is not affecting the output, but it would be helpful if there is a way to have both views accurate. Any ideas?

Thanks very much for looking at the code, and I didn't realize about the ampersands. I ran the validator tonight and wow, I'm embarrassed. I went through and repaired a great deal in my main template page, and tomorrow I will have to go through the other pages and see if I have more. I'm sure I do. While I was able to fix a lot of the errors, there are still some on this page (main template) that have me confused, and I welcome some wisdom. After fixing as many errors as I could the following list has me stumped.
The reason I am stumped is because all of these lines are created by Dreamweaver. I didn't write them. I have attempted to change the order of the lines, but still come up with validation errrors just in a different order. Here are the lines as the validation report refer to in my template: I will put the corresponding numbers at the beginning of the appropriate lines...
Thank you for any suggestions anyone has.

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,
Sanjit

Why does my site appear differently in Chrome to IE

Hello.
This problem has been bothering me for some time.
I got asked to make a website for our work (I did some Web Design at uni, but I have pretty much been learning on the go doing this).
It all looks fine in Chrome and FireFox but when you open it up in Internet Explorer, the formatting on the front page looks very wrong, as the marquees are miles apart instead of sitting on top of each other like they should do.
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea as to why this would be happening/how to fix it because I'm all out of ideas.
This is the website if you want to try for yourself to see what I mean.
www.innovativesafety.co.uk
Many thanks in advance,

Comment your css body, td, th out /* */ as shown below:
/* body,td,th {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;
font-size: 36px;
Add the font family and font size to your 'a' css selector as below:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #7030a0;
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;
font-size: 36px;
Add the font size to you ii css selector as shown below:
.ii {
color: #7030A0;
font-size: 36px;

Hi
They are different because of the way IE/Opera and FF/Safari handle list indents, you will have to change the default margin and padding values to achieve a consistent list positioning, (do not forget negative values are allowed).
See the section on positioning in this article for more info - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/.

Why does my clip look different in Color vs FCP via External mmonitor

Can anyone explain why my clip look slightly different in color as opposed to FCP. This clip is exported from FCP sequence with NO filters whatsoever. I'm basically viewing the same clip and switching between color and FCP. The clip seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
I'm using a MacPro/Kona3/Sony Multiformat CRT. Thanks

seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
Do you see a difference in the scopes? "seems to" is not as good a description as we really need to sort out whether this is a gamma issue or a possible 601/709 conflict, even with your Multiformat Sony. There appear to be a lot of RGB, Y'CbCr conversions in your image pipeline.
I am aware that some codecs are handled slightly differently by Final Cut and COLOR. They do not use the same media decoding engine. COLOR's is much more basic (fundamental) and generally speaking is more accurate for that reason. Similar to SHAKE in that respect.

Why does Firefox 4 look different on xp than Win 7. Some of the features described in the intro are not showing up like the firefox button top left.

When I loaded the new version on my office computer running Win 7 it looked like the promo but when I upgraded my other computers running xp it looks more like the earlier versions. What is the story people!!!

Try turning off the menu toolbar
* Use keyboard keys '''Alt''' then in turn '''V , T , M'''
Note the menubar may be temporarily turned back on by using the Alt key even if the '''orange''' ''"Firefox Button"'' is displayed.
Firefox 4 probably by default does not dislplay the bookmarks toolbar, and will display the Tabs on top.
There are other changes; and some users do not like them, but in most cases firefox 4 can be made to look and work like firefox 3.6 if required.

Why does the display look different in photoshop and lightroom

I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Allen
Edit/Delete Message

Your color settings are not the same, or something is broken with your display profile that one application is trying to fix up (but that should give you a warning).
