Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

Hi everyone out in Vodaland,

Saw this thread and have a question. I am having a similar problem and have had it since I started building my site. When I look at my site pages, everything appears normal...all placed in proper locations, text, pics, etc. but when OTHER people look up my site from their own computers (or I go to the library and see myself) text or pics are displaced, running off edges of boxes I put them in, covered up, etc.

I have been told this is because I'm building my site from a laptop, not a desktop...and I AM getting someone wonderful to help me by fixing these problems from his own computer once I'm ready to publish...but since this type of problem showed up, I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows what I might be able to do from my own laptop to correct- because I know I'll be continually updating and would hate to rely on my friend forever...

I don't know anything about how to deal with firewalls...but maybe someone can give me some ideas for the future?

Thanks, hope you're all having a great day!

Hi again, it's Saturday 1:30 am..why am I here when I should be under the down????

Frustration. That's why! I cannot figure out what's wrong- in my previous post, I mentioned that I'm having trouble with text/images being displaced.

Still having that problem. But on MY computer it all looks fine, when I make a page or preview a page, EVEN when I look at the published page. It's on OTHER computers that the displacing occurs.

I tried changing the resolution from 1290 x 800 to 1024 x 768..for one thing, at that resolution my own computer monitor looks like it's been stretched out like a rubber band and is hard to work with...
I rewrote script, made boxes longer, moved images to what people told me I should...well on my own computer in BV page maker, this looks ridiculous...and on other computers some changes I tried to make didn't change a bit.
E.G.: on colour energy page, midway down right column in bold purple it says " COLOUR WAVELENGTH AND FREQUENCY." I deleted that print, and re-wrote it, moved it, etc...and it is STILL showing up published with the word "frequency" on the line below where that word actually is in BV pagemaker.

Don't know what to do. I've read that some with a similar issue are having firewall problems..but what would that have to do with how another computer sees my page? And I know I can't go to the lowest resolution and work there, because it's just plain fuzzy. HELP pleeeeeeeez. with blueberries, sugar and whipcream on top!

TYVM, TTYS!!

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

The problem posted here about firewall displacing images, was incorrect. It was NOT a firewall issue, it was a problem about adding external code, that caused the problem. Your's is probably something similar. Please post here the link to the problematic page.

Also, if you can't see your updated page, it is probably just your browser cacheing. Try hitting sometimes the F5 button.

And, building your site on a laptop or a desktop, doesn't change anything at all.

The problem, 99%, has to do with some external code you have added in your page. Please post the URL and we will have a look.

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

Leeza, your page seems perfectly ok to me as long as i look at it in IE. there are some displacements in FireFox: this is a known issue with long pages (yours is long) because FF formats text slightly differently. I suggest that you view and adjust your page in both FF and IE, or make it shorter by dividing the content in two pages.

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

Hi NavalDesign, and thanks for the info...I'll shorten the pages...but don't know a thing about how to make Firefox or IE changes. Can you help with that?

Thanks bunches!

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

p.s. TO ABOVE post...how long should my maximum pages be? And it occured to me that I THINK I have been looking at my page in IE on my son's computer because that's how I logged onto his? Is there Firefox on our computers that I'm just not aware of?

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

There is not really a rule. It depends on many factors, among them if you use tables or not, how much text you are using, etc. However, in your case, i would say that your page is almost double than what i would expect. I would have used tables to avoid such issues with such a ling page.

Re: Firewalls Displace Images And Text

would a table allow the page to be longer? I hear varied things, like the search engines don't like lots of pages...would rather they be longer...and I wonder about splitting pages up when everything is related...

and one of my pages that has problems when I look at it from my son's computer IS short- which makes me think something else must be wrong...that page is:
