How come there are differences in the look of the site after i've uploaded it?

It all lOOks OK on my PC, no changes, uploaded and there's some little differences.

What are you viewing it in on the local computer vs the online version, same browser?

Are you running a webserver on your local machine or are you just previewing the files?

What are the little differences you are seeing? View the source of the page both online and offline and see what is different. It could be the online server is interpreting things differently to the local copy.

Both using the same browser. IE6

Just opening the files from the local PC. Using the hosts FTP client to upload, then viewing from the URL.

OK, i've validated all HTML pages and all CSS. But still the problems are there...



1) One "info" rollover image that is in many places on a page, has like an outline/border, which is not visible offline.

2) Some images in a gallery, aligned and styled with CSS, are not in the same place when viewing from the URL. They are over to the left, but centered offline.

3) The logo is not sharp like offline, there are jaggies. Also the text is more jaggy.

4) There's a script to highlight some text when you rollover. All works fine offline, but it does nothing online. You can click it, but it doesn't change the text colour, nor the cursor.




This is bugging the **** out of me.

I tried it on another PC, using the same IE6 browser and it's OK.

Weird! I'll just ignore it then.

Welcome to the wonderful world of browser testing and CSS bodging

This is why some website builder charge more because they will develop and check their work on more than just IE6/7!

I actually refreshed the page on the dodgey PC and it now works, must've been something weird with the cache.

It's a royal PITA doing websites though. (OK, in notepad )

lol, when viewing your changes get in to the habbit of pressing ctrl+f5 to refresh.
