Solve : HTML SCREWY DISPLAY?

Answer»

Hello everyone,

I have an odd issue that I have not been able to find anything on so I hope I can get an some help here.
ISSUE:
One one machine (mine) a webpage that I made minor changes to will not display properly.  On other machies it displays fine and on my machine if I double-click the HTML file itself, as opposed to going to the client site and clicking the link to the page, it opens fine.  It is only screwy when I go into the page via the site link.
What I changed:
The only changes I made to the code was to change text and an image.  I didn't make any formatting changes.
How I changed code:
What I did was copy a BLOCK of code that was to be commented out because the information within it was to change.  I did that instead of just replacing what was there directly so that I could easily find it and use it again for future changes.  After copying the code I commented the previously selected code out and then MODIFIED the text and image in the new block of code.
What I see: 
It seems that all of the horizontal lines on the page have shifted to the top right of the page and all of the should be separated text and images run together.  As I said earlier, it doesn't do this for anyone else that I had try it and when I look at the page by double-clicking the HTML file directly.

Any assistance in figuring this out WOULD be greatly appreciated.  I tried to redo the entire process a couple of times and checked it at VARIOUS STAGES of the modifications but in theend I still have the problem

Thanks, DougI should mention I am using Windows XP SP3 and I/E 8.0.6001.18702.  My coworker is using the same version of XP but I/E 6.  I am not sure what the other person that checked it is using.  I don't know why the I/E version difference would be the problem though since I can see it fine when double-clicking the file directly.  Thanks.

IE6 is the problem. IE6 is a problem in itself and should be a manditory update in Windows. Quote from: skatkat on July 22, 2010, 12:32:07 PM
