i edit stuff in dreamweaver, or make tables with fixed widths and heights, but sometimes when text is involed my page completely ignores changes i make to it, make it bold, or certain cell widths, but then when i preview it on the web stuff looks diffrent, any suggestions? :confused:

WYSIWYG editors give you a certain preview of html using their version of html interpreting. Same for browsers. This is why looking at the code is best.
Just look at the code and find out what's wrong.
If you need more help, post the code for some text in question or link to the page.

The preview feature available in DreamWeaver is not reliable fully. Especially on Mozilla based browsers it used to create problems.

I would suggest using CSS techniques for your presentational stuff (I mean as you said you want to make some text as bold instead of using the Bold button available in DreamWeaver you can create a style and apply that style on the specific text).

heres a link to it, it is supposed to be in bold, and that picture in the table up at the top, the table is supposed to be closely surrounding that picture, but its not, it has like a gap to the right of it, even though i typed the cell width in at 100px myself :( any help would be VERY appreciated. heres the link,

unless I am missing the idea, that is what I see on your page.

If you are doing a lot of edits and checks, be sure to clear your cache, cookies, temp files etc. Sometimes changes can't be seen unless you do.

The font looks bold to me, and the top image seems to fit the table in my view.

Just in case I was looking at the wrong picture, or something else. And you know what it is supposed to look like here is what I am seeing:

Yes your site content looks bold in Firefox.

Aw crap, you guys both use firefox? >.< oh how this vexes me so. i have both browsers as a web designer and now that i look at it i notice that it appears the way i want in firefox but not in internet explorer. what would you suggest, i might possibly know a way to fix the spacing problem, (i dont have a clue how to get it to appear bold in IE,) , is there a way to have text wrap around a picture in HTML or dreamweaver? because i kinda want to make that into one cell anyways. =\

and might you guys possibly know of other stuff that varies between mozilla and IE, like that image at the top, which is supposed to be centered, and i dont know why its not.

PS. blizzard does that alienware GUI affect your computers performance at all? oh and does your name refer to blizzard the company? cuz i got some grudges with them. :)

Err, no, should it? LOL I don't think Bill Gates himself could slow down that beast :D (I know.. he has tried...)

And no, Blizzard Entertainment has nothing to do with me, nor vice versa.

As far as differences go.. too many to list in one post. The easiest way to make it look the way you want it too..

9 times out of 10, if the page validates, it will look as you want it too in all browsers.

Enjoy :D
