It's a sample I'm making for a company I may intern with as an editorial intern... See how "August 2006" and "always fabulous..." are left oriented and just look fucked up? On the preview in NVU (open source web developer) it looks fine.

Any suggestions? If you have the program I'd be glad to send you the file as well.

Thanks anyone!!!

Dear lord. It's fucked up because you have no idea what you are doing.

^ yeah, i figured as much. But I don't need to be told I don't know the ins & outs of code... I just need to know how to get it to look like what I want

I also ran into this problem, for some reason NVU's generated code looks like garbage in IE, but will work fine in opera and firefox. I haven't found a solution other than just coding it yourself or using dreamweaver

it's really strange that it would work in opera and firefox, but NOT in ie...ie will generally work with any crap you throw at it

^^ So yeah, looks fine in opera and firefox, only looks bad in IE. Convince everyone to stop using IE and that'll fix your problem. You could also try using something like dreamweaver (free trial version's availible) to redo it so it'll render properly in all browsers.

^ yeah... I prefer dreamweaver but I didn't feel like going to campus or dl'ing the trial so I figured I'd give this free one a shot

Oh, and it does look good in firefox... go fuckin figure

I'm just going to tell the person I'm sending it for to open it in firefox (and dl firefox if she hasn't)

Ok dude, the part of the page that concerns the 'August 2006' part looks like this:

 
<tr style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Book;" align="center">

<td colspan="3" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 16px;"><big style="font-weight: bold;"><big><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">August 2006<br>

<small><small><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></small></small></span></big></big><big><big><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><small><small style="font-style: italic;"><small></small></small></small></span></big></big></td>

</tr>


This code is, to be blunt, disgusting. Now, I know you said you don't know code, but this is pretty bad. If you want to rely on WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) programs for creating web pages, switch to something better like Dreamweaver.

Best of luck.

<table style="width: 700px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">


that line is right under the </head> and <body> tags

change that to

<table align="center" style="width: 700px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">

margin: auto doesn't work in IE6..
