Different Browsers - Will my page show different ?
I have not yet finished my page, but have come accross a bit of a problem.
I am writing the HTML on my own computer under Notepad.
Recently I tried to open the page on my friends computer to show him and it came up all messed up, with just bits of source code on the actual page.
Does this mean that when I eventually put my site on line it may come up like this ?
By the way, my friends computer has netscape navigator on and mine is internet explorer.
If this is why, how can I make my page user friendly for a variety of browsers ?
Thanks a lot..

There will always be differences in the way that NN and IE display html pages. With a bit of fine tuning I am sure you will be able to get it working on both browsers.
If you could, either post the HTML so we can have a look at it or put it on the net and give us a URL.
If you decide to make a different page for NN and IE, then there is a script which can detect your browser then display the correct page. You could try something like this:-
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
window.location.href = "ie.html";
}
else {
window.location.href = "nn.html";
}
