I redid our company website using Coffee Cup. We are very pleased with the software and our new websire, however, we are receiving complaints that our site is not working properly in Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8, but works perfectly in Internet Explorer 7. Our wesite is blume.com.
I called the hosting company, Hosting.com. They moved the website last week and now we are having problems with different browsers. They say it is on our end as the developer. Any suggestions on how to correct our site so all browsers can view the same?
Thank you.

It looks to be working fine for me using IE8. FireFox 3.6 has some double menus showing up though.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Browser compatibility issues are the number one problems that all web developers have to face so do not fret. It is hard to help without the code present, but if you google "Browser Compatible CSS" that will help you out a lot. Also, CC's software is browser compatible so you can use one of their pre-designed CSS layouts. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what might have been changed, but this html should be inserted into the body of the page rather than the head:
Or, are you saying the sight hasn't been right since your redesigned it in VSD?
In that case, it may be that visitors to your site have changed the default screen dpi on their computers, perhaps because they need larger fonts to make pages more readable. In that case, there's nothing you can do as VSD requires the screen dpi to be set at 96dpi, or pages won't display as expected.
The only way around this is to use a traditional html editor for coding your pages.
