Same browsers but different Screen View, Dreamweaver 8
« on: February 10, 2011, 04:21:39 PM »
Hello there,

I created my website with Dreamweaver 8. It was my first experience with this software...

During a business meeting when I had to show my website to a client I faced a strange problem. My website on his screen looked like a monster. Huge letters. All I could see was only a small corner of the page I created and we had to scroll over the length and width of the whole screen to see the rest of the text on the page. On the screen of my PC this page fits perfect.

The client had the same screen size as I do on my PC and the same browser IE. Though I have IE7 and he might have a different version of Internet Explorer.

It was either this page: http://www.doveriesardo.com or this: http://www.doveriesardo.com/HTMLs/En/Index.html

I can't remember exactly which one.

I thought that it might be his PC screen settings but he has no problems seeing other websites.

What can it be?

Thanks for help in advance and sorry for my English. It's not my native language  :-\

I haven't looked at your HTML file but I viewed your site in IE8, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome browsers and it displayed fine.  So, I suspect something unusual with your client's computer or browser. 

Still, if you can test your web pages with different browsers, that might help prevent such embarrassing situations.  Also, this might be helpful: http://browsershots.org/; it's a way to test your website for many different browsers without having them installed on your computer.
