Your site will look different on other computers dependant on what resolution and screen size they have. I normally build to a 800x600 resolution (as this is what the majority of users still use), and allow the tables to streach to fit larger resolutions as long as this dosen't alter the look and feel of the site.

Barring building several different versions of your site for each browser and screen size, and then using javascript to detect the settings on the veiwers computer and redirecting them to that version, you just have to put up with the site looking slightly different on other computers.

I suggest you put a disclaimer on the bottom of your site saying "site best viewed on xxxx resolution with xyz browser".

Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..
