    Default Cross OS heartbreak-- dreamweaver guidance needed SOS!

    You folks seem to know your stuff and so I was hoping you could provide me with
    some Dreamweaver advice or perhaps point me in the right direction?.

    I am designing a site for a friend: [url]www.southindianlake.com[/url] (you can enter to
    preview on the 2-feathers-logo)

    I have used DW2004MX for the Mac to design it. In all tested browsers, the
    site looks fine. There are no breaks or screw ups. However, when I view it on
    my PC in the same browsers, it looks like ass. Broken up and separated spaces--
    an absolute embarrassment. I desperately need some assistance here. I can't
    find a direct solution in the other forums.

    I do know some HTML and CSS, and hand coded my own portfolio site, but I want
    to switch to using DW because it is faster than hand coding. Plus, I suck at
    coding and I am still pretty much in the dark when it comes to fixes.

    Like I said... the site looks and works fine in all the major browsers in the
    Mac OS but on PC it looks really bad.

    I appreciate any help or advice you can give me.

    On the PC, it looks good in Firefox and bad in MSIE.

    I think the problem is that MSIE does not correctly ignore line returns in td
    tags. I have seen this before.

    I like to nest my td tags.

    <td>
    content
    </td>

    I see that on your site too. MSIE will sometimes add a space there. Try
    changing all of those to td's to this:
    <td>content</td>

    Bet that fixes it for MSIE on Windows.
