Need an HTML/web design whiz please....formatting help

[rupss]

I am fairly new to web design and HTML, and am creating some pages from scratch using Notepad. However, the pages come up differently with different browsers e.g IE 6 and 7. Is there something I can do to prevent this?

Thanks!

either:
a) Use browser hacks to 'cover up' the differences
or
b) Be very specific about all tags, elements etc, and avoid those which are rendered differently

Clearly the second option is more desirable.
See such sites as:
http://www.netmechanic.com/products/...Tutorial.shtml
http://blazonry.com/info/difftable.php
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html (the best comparison table imo)
and search for the tags you use and what differences they may have.

Perhaps explain better what you mean by 'differently', it is possible that you haven't yet acquired the coding knowledge to produce robust code (browsers do funny things). Check out things like DOCTYPE and be very careful with TABLE (avoid if possible), position:absolute; (avoid like the plague), and make sure you are writing what you declare (be it html, xhtml...)
If still in difficulties, post a snippet of the problem area (or point us to your url)

hiii,
i advice you to use website building softwares like dreamveiwer or web pagemaker v.2.6 or site spinner. they give a fine output in all the browser.but the page iis fine only in the screen resoution which you use in the system while doing, (for EG. if the resolu.. of uar system is 800*600,it can be viewed very fine in the same resolu..)
you can use javascripts to resolve that probem.(mail me,i can send u)
