some HTML challenges
Hi,
I've just designed my company's web site and this is the first one I've ever done. All in all, I think it's pretty good, but the one thing driving me crazy is making it look on a 1024x768 monitor the way it looks on my 800x600. Imagine my surprise when my boss asked to see what I've done and I did it on his Win 2K computer and everything was all pushed aside!!! What is a 'quick and dirty' way to tackle this? Is there a script I can cut and paste for this and in which program? I heard Javascript is not recognized by WebTv users.
Lastly, I read in one tutorial that font tags are more compatible with every situation when they're written in CSS as opposed to HTML. Is it better to use either HTML or CSS, or is it ok to design a site in a mixture of both?
Our site is expolists.com
Thanks for your help!!

... font tags are only HTML. You can, however, use CSS to style elements instead of HTML, and that is, yes, ideal.
I don't know where to start. In order to fix your resolution problem, you should put the background in the table, not the body. Otherwise, damn, I'd put this up for a critique and let people go at it hammer and tongs and then start fresh.

'quick and dirty'
place your site in a fixed with table (750) and center it, will display the same on 800 and bigger (include background in this table as Suzanne mentioned as well and add a bgcolor for the body)
you should maybe validate your code as well, you have a couple of errors in there.
body tag doesnt use border and a needs values etc
