Cross Browser Compatibility Problem

[designs12901]

I'm a newbie when it comes to web page design so bear with
me on this.

I'm using First Page 2006 to design my web pages with a
screen resolution of 800X600

I've been having problems with my web pages up showing correctly
with people using high resolution settings 1024x768, 1152x864, 1600x1200

Which of these html formats is best to use.

html 4.01 Strict

html 4.01 Transitional

I pasted some of the text into, should I hand type all
of the text starting off with everything on the left.

When I need to have text in the center should I start off
to the left & then slide the text over to the center.

I know I have to learn html so please don't respond
with you should learn html I know that I'm learning
it as I go.

But for know I need this web page to show up correctly
& start making sales.

Good for you for tackling HTML and being willing to learn it in the future. Though for your purposes Dreamweaver might be easier to follow.

That aside, my sites tend to be classified as transitional.

What problems are you having with those higher resolutions? I might even tend to design for 1024 x 768 as the old 600 x 800 standard is on it's way out.

As for text alignment, just get all your text in and format it aftewards. So yes start with it left-aligned if that is how it is initially, then apply centered justification.

I had a bit of trouble interpreting some aspects of your posts - let me know if I missed addressing anything.

Some of the text is over to the left & the table might not
be aligned correctly.

If you can fix this I will give the package to you.

Mmm.. sincerely, you might greatly benefit from using a pre-existing styled template and pasting your content into it. It will achieve a more professional look at this point, and it seems you want to get a quick start with selling.

I never say this, but utilize a good existing design now, and worry about the coding later.

I'll take that into consideration

are you trying to achive to get everything centered?
Also, the <font> tag is almost obsolete, alsmost not used anymore. I see you are still learning. Reading up on Divs can help alot. It also helps to break your code into parts, not having it on one line. "Tabbing" your code is also helpfull. Say you have a table tag. Everything in it would be tabbed in to the end.

<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
        <tr>
                <td>
                        Hello!
                </td>
        </tr>
</table>

Anything inside something can be tabbed. this also helps having your close tags in line. i usually have the <table> tag, press enter/return then type the end tag, </table>, then go in between them and put the rest. this ensures that everything is correctly closed.
