I have published my site with VSD and it looks good on most browsers until I was away a borrowed a friendly iMac to find my lovely websafe pruple was now a pink colour ! Not what I expected. Any ideas why this happens and what I can do to fix it...

Mark,

Locate this line in your code that you added using the HTML tool:
<meta name="verify-v1" content="+z57JbOhekRKdkyXN+sobUxuYm6UPkxcW8vrGiVUM58=" />

Once you locate that, you can either remove it or edit the / our of the end of the tag. That causes issues with some browsers, and may or may not be the source of your problem.

I also noticed that, after making sure my site looked great in Firefox, IE, Safari, etc on a PC; I then opened the site on an iMac and many things were out of place. Not the colors, but the alignment of the objects on the page. What baffled me is that I had ALREADY optimized the site for Safari on my PC, but apparently Safari on a Mac runs a little differently...

It must be the evil empire that is Microsoft. Or perhaps the Neocons are at fault. But ultimately, GW has got to be behind this mess. :D

Hi Bill

I didn;t use an HTML tool but VSD which said everything was websafe! So not sure where I would find that code and how to change it!

That code was inserted using the HTML tool. The last line appears to be a verification code such as used by Google. If it is the Google Code, I think you only need it once, but removing the / at the end will help some browsers be a bit happiers with the code.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
