I was using XHTML Transitional. And yes, DOCTYPE might influence too, I never thought of that...

doctype may influence how the browsers handle these things. I'm guessing Renegade was using xhtml (strict?), so browsers, particularly IE, can get fussy.

I've seen different results with different browsers with different and same sites. I'm not too sure as to why it happens. Happened to me once with my sites. Was using IE to view it (in the same session and on other days). I was just being lazy one time and discovered that so yeah, umm always put in the quotes

They are rendered differently.

Really? I did not know this. What browsers treat them differently and how is the output on the screen different? I am guessing its a opera or some other sub browser that has the problem since I have never noticed it in mozilla or IE.

With some browesers it helps if you put the quotation marks around the thing you are trying to set.

e.g. width=100% should be width="100%"

They are rendered differently.

But I don't really see whats wrong. Sorry.

if you have a version that works good in different screen sizes, then have a page that will redirect you based on resolution.

&lt;script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"&gt;
// <!--
  var ScrnSize = "UnCommon"

  if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.") != -1 && 
      navigator.appName.indexOf("Explorer") != -1) {
     ScrnSize = screen.width + "x" + screen.height;
  }
  if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.") != -1 && 
      navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) {
     ScrnSize = screen.width + "x" + (screen.height + 19); //Netscape sees 19 pixels less on Height
  }
//  End -->
&lt;/script&gt;

there that code should return the screen size for a person, just use that to rediect them based on that resolution.

thats just on solution i think you might be better off fixing the page so that it qworks in two resolutions.

The one you linked to there seems to be okay. What you might want to try is building your site in a table with a width fixed at about 760 pixels. This way your site will look the same in all screen resolutions. Once you become more comfortable with tables you can develop them to scale while still working at different resolutions.

What are you using to build your pages? It helps if you know HTML really well - then you can have more control over your code.
