101004 2002-11-24 08:49:00 I have a desktop & a laptop, I save my projects to my cf card so that I can move them from one machine to the other but when I display my html projects on my laptop they don't turn out right. Both machines are running ie5.5 the only difference is that I have not set up the internet on the laptop.

If you want the documents to change, then .html is a great file format. html is extreemly open to enterpretation, screen size and so many other variables will change the way it is displayed.

101007 2002-11-24 09:12:00 When you say "They don't turn out right" what do you mean? Colours? Tables resizing?

I use an LED screen at work - a definite colour difference to here.

If your tables are resizing - are you using the same resolution on both monitors?

... actually... I tend to wear reading glasses at work far more than I do at home. Something about that monitor makes it harder to read. And both this one and the LED one are 17" at 800 x 600 resolution.

101010 2002-11-25 06:56:00 Heather, do you mean an LCD monitor?

And if so, then you are not running it at native resolution, so it will be harder to read.

At native resolution (1024 x 768) a 15" (equal to 17" CRT) will be better than the CRT.

If its an 18" LCD then it may even have a higher resolution.

You never run LCD monitors at resolutions other than native. My ones actually warn you that its wrong and suggest you change it.

101011 2002-11-25 07:05:00 I stand corrected. Probably LCD, it's flat anyway.

The boss occasionally uses my machine and changes the resolution to 1024 x 768. Mind you, he is short-sighted, I'm gradually becoming long-sighted. I've tried it and hate it. Squint city - even with glasses.

101012 2002-11-25 08:09:00 E.g I code in so that it should display a table coloured green spanning 80% of the screen. On the desktop it displays as it should but on my laptop I might have table but no colour, even though I use hexedecimal values. ?? Ron Bakker (356)
101013 2002-11-25 08:56:00 Are you using browser safe colours? If not, you can get variations between screens.

Is it only web pages that show up in different colours or other pages as well?
