Dreamweaver 8 Help

tfeucht · 04-04-2007, 02:05 PM

Can anyone offer advice please. I recently published a website using Dreamweaver 8. When I view the website on my desktop computer (which is where I published the site from), it looks exactly as it should. However, if I load the site from my laptop computer (which has a widescreen display) the website shows all the breaks between the slices and looks very poor! Is there anyway to fix this??
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

this is something that would require a good look at the code to fix.

What is the screen resolution on your laptop?

joan90 · 03-20-2009, 03:45 AM

i fixed mine but the problem was anywhere i looked, i couldn't get the slices to match up. they were in a table and discovered that some of the cells were not the same size and that iswhy I had gaps. If your slices are in a table make sure the combined width and lenght of the cells match the overall size of your table next make sure that cell 1 column 1 is the same width and cell 1 column 2 and so on, maybe that might help you.
