I have a strange problem. I have ie 6 and my page looks fine. Some co
workers have the same version of ie 6 and the page is "off" can any one
offer me an explanation? I have windows xp. my coworkers have windows xp.
I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean by "off"?

Are your co-worker's setting all the same as yours?

Are you using px values for font sizes or widths?

You know what you expect your page to look like, you know what your page
does look like, you know what your code looks like, and you're at a
loss. Imagine how much more at a loss a bunch of strangers who know none
of the above must be.

I guess you will have to provide an URL.

I'm constantly surprised by how many participants here rely on crystal
balls, about which they seem to complain as much as they do about IE6.

What's the point in a crystal ball that works as well as a 60's-era TV?

More modern types of oracular technology include those used for
predicting Grand National winners - for which the most popular system is
apparently called "pin-sticking".

Pin-sticking never works for me, though.

Take a screenshot of your display, get your co-workers to do the same for
their display. Upload the images to your webspace and if possible post a
link to the page in question.

The first thing I thought of was that they have either a different sized
screen or are using a larger font size. Do you or they have any plugins?
Are you all accessing the same page through the same network? Have you all
installed the latest IE updates?

Yes, you assume we can debug your problems without seeing the code.

Keep your pages in the fridge, wrapped in cling film. In this heat they
go "off" in no time.

I also use a rubber chicken, a pyramid, and yarro sticks. Although the
chicken and pyramid are only useful locally for healing the code.
