This is how my thread started in the VSD section...
"I have a new website I'm trying to upload. When setting up the FTP setting, it says it can't use a number as the character. www.409southmainstreet.com is the site I'm trying to upload. Any suggestions? "
but now another thing has occurred but I need to see how others see the site. My host LunarPages was gracious enough to figure out that since I couldn't start the FTP WWW folder with a number, I had to set it up as "southmainstreet" then put that folder under "409southmainstreet". (I think I've got that right)
Now I see the site okay but another CC forum member sees www.409southmainstreet.com strangely. The text seems to be over to the right of the page. If you have a chance, could you take a look-see & let me know if it looks correct to you? I submitted it to BrowserShots & all looks good there.
Thanks

Have you tried using ftp.409southmainstreet.com ?
I'm just throwing that one out there, I've never used such a URL before. Just a thought.

the url is fine Phil, the problem is the page looks to me like that screenshot I put the link on my post for. It shouldn't look all messed up like that at all, and it doesn't look all messed up like that at all to her, but it does to me. How does it look to you?
I think the post here might be misleading, she has the ftp problem fixed, now it's just the viewing of the site we need verification for as to who's view is the view that is seen by others, hers or mine

Jo Ann,
It looks like that to me as well. It seems to be a scaling issue. If I zoom in (using Firefox and IE8) it looks correct.

ahh I thank you very much! I actually did hit the {ctrl -} about a week ago to try to see a site that had really tiny print on it, and I forgot to set it back! TY TY !!
*EDIT*
I just tried zooming in and zooming out, and I still can't get it to display properly. If I try to get it to display right it is like zoomed in so far the print is huge!! I'm still not sure if this is what is wrong for me either that or something I did ain't right LOL

Yeah!! I'm so glad it's up & running & looks good, IMHO. I LOVE this template. BTW, 409 was an art gallery & is about to feature a local artist (my friend's son) so it's very appropriate.
Jo Ann, thank you sooooo much for all your assistance. Yet another reason I love CoffeeCup, a GREAT forum - yea, you too Bruzer!!

I don't know if it is a VSD issue or not. If I zoom in to 125% itlooks correct. If I zoom out to 100% it looks jumbled. I haven't used VSD laely, so I don't know if you can zoom in and out while creating it. Or maybe that template needs to be adjusted.

If I zoom in enough to make the main site look good, the jukebox moves partially off the left side of the screen.
I can't believe that VSD created code that reads:
<div class="text-align:center;margin-left:0px;text-indent:0px;">
I would suggest removing things added with the HTML tool and see how the site looks, then start adding them back one at a time.

From what I can tell, the site looks that way because you have your content set the be centered. However, the image you are using in your background is not aligned for that. So the only browser it will look okay on, is one with a lower dpi display. Such as 1024x768, which also happens to be the exact size of your background image.
I played around with your codes a bit in The HTML Editor.
I removed the following code you have just before the </head><body> tags:
<!-- centering -->
<style type="text/css">
#container { position:relative; margin: 0px auto 0 auto; height: 100%; width:1024px; text-align:left; padding-left:0px;}
</style>
<!-- centering -->
<!-- --------- -->
<style type="text/css">
#container { position:relative; margin: 0px auto 0 auto; height: 100%; width:1024px; text-align:left; padding-left:0px;}
</style>
<!-- centering -->
<!-- --------- -->
And it looks ALOT better without that. And if your content is supposed to line up with your background, centering everything is doing the opposite. I would also recommend not having your background repeat. Or it will look like the screenshot Wolverana has.
I am attaching the "fixed_index.txt" file with the adjustments in the centering issue and the background image. You can rename it to "index.html" and upload to your server. (Be sure to backup your original file first if you are replacing.)
Take a look and let me know if how this works.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
