I've had problems making my websites work on everyone's resolutions for years. It's very important to me that my current website look good to most people. I discovered that my site looks *edited by Sporty- using acronyms and abbreviations is concidered the same as actually cussing and not allowed* up on my laptop, even though it's fine on my desktop.

Would y'all mind clicking the splat in my signature and telling me if anything's off? (I know it's terrible on Macs.)

Looks fine to me. Is your laptop only 640×480? Because I measured the screen in Paint and it's only about 700 wide. (And if it is, don't worry 'bout it -- 99% of Web designers don't bother to make sure sites work on such a low res anymore, and I don't know anyone whose compy can't handle anything bigger)

I'm at 1024x768 on a Windows PC using Mozilla Firefox - looked fine to me. If you could clarify what you meant by *edited by Sporty- using acronyms and abbreviations is concidered the same as actually cussing and not allowed* we might be able to help you better.

I'm at 800 x 600 on a 19 inch monitor and everything looks and works fine to me.

Yeah, sorry for being vague. On my laptop the absolute positioning was quirky. The frame was up and to the left of where it should be. Tried changing the resolution, but it made no difference.

So, you trying to have it centered? Because I'm using Firefox and it's not displaying as such.

I think I know what you mean since the iframe there is mostly covering that double line that you put in beneath the title. That was not intended, I assume.
I'm running Windows XP, IE 7, and got 1280x1024 rez. Resizing the window makes no difference.
