what can i say? read the title... i dont know what to do, i made a new layout in PhotoShop CS3 and sliced it up and saved it as a website...

i have filled in some text and changed some things but and it looks great within dreamweaver... the problem is, when i open the site in firefox or internet explorer it just looks wierd! all the pictures and things are moved around on the site... here is a pic:

it looks to me as like u using a table layout and not div..

wat u need 2 do is tile the stretch areas, and for a table layout, the slices dont look correct on the ends.. the left and right top and bottom corners need to be seperate aswell, also the background is sliced with the layout.. u need help.. if that doesnt work then i think u need jesus in ur life..

it is very common for sites made in Microsft Frontpage, or other web builders to not be coded properly. if the site is not coded properly, then different browsers will interpret the HTML code in different ways, and so, they will make the site look different.
if you want your site to always look the same, you need to make sure the site is coded in proper valid HTML or XHTML or some other language you decide to use.

the best way to do this is to code the site manually line by line.

snugglez64, you were 100% right! when i saved the page in photoshop it saved it as 1 big table, with alot of div tags in it with the pictures.

When i added the text i probably stuffed something up, couse now i remade the site and uploaded it and now it works great. I havnt added the text and stuff yet but when/if you visit the site i might have!

You might want to fix the path of the images... they are all pointing at your desktop files, so nobody else can view it.
