HELP, PLEASE! I've designed a site for a client, using Dreamweaver 8, and he says the page is appearing differently in his mac (text out of alignment) than in windows. Appears GREAT when I view it through windows IE... What tool / element in Dreamweaver 8 do I use to design for BOTH platforms, where they will both look the same. I am not a CSS user, but the traditional 'cells' and fixed widths.... THANK YOU... THANK YOU!!!!

What browser and version is your client using? What is a link to the pages?
Do the pages validate?

The problem relies on he is using a different browser probably opera or
safari.

You need to preview your site using his browser. So install the different
browser on your PC and configure DW so that he can display the site with
another browser.

So welcome to cross browser headaches
And post a link of your web site so we can help you more.
Plus another suggestion use the general dreamweaver discussion.
