Your website doesn't seem to show up for me.

 

There's your problem. Throw Dreamweaver in the trash and learn to code. All the help I'm gonna bother giving you.

 

Don't throw out Dreamweaver, as its also good for just coding.

Learn some html basics by going here; http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/, and use the "Code" view or "Split" view in Dreamweaver to make your site.

 

Or just code view, if you must use it - even though more or less every free editor out there comes with Dreamweaver's coding and FTP features.

Do NOt use design or split view, that is where most of your problems are lying. Dreamweaver CS3 uses the Presto layout engine - the same one found in the Opera web browser. And because of how its done, its not even that. So when you see something in Design view, it is not on a real browser, and is therefore not what you'll see on browsers like Firefox, which is radically different from the Trident/Presto engine.

You have to code it, just imagine what it'll look like :S

 

LOL rep added, best advice ever

 

There are many web sites which look great in IE or Opera but look bad in other browsers like FireFox

 

And thats what's wrong with the world these days. Screw global warming, look at cross browser compatibility!

 

Some web sites do not look great in all browsers because each browser has subtle differences.

 

i know browsers differences better than everyone. I"ve made Trident (IE) based browsers, Gecko browsers and compiled and edited WebKit multiple times.

Its not that hard to learn to code properly in the first place, and you'll get it right most of the time, with maybe a few small workarounds in the CSS to get it working. Pure 100% cross browser compatibility I rarely expect, but I go for 98%. Learn the subtleties of each browser (IE6/7, Safari, Fx and Opera) and its a cinch, especially if you keep HTML to a minimum, and style with CSS - so if you want to change the design, you never have to see HTML.

Dreamweaver just screws things up. People say IE is the worst thing to happen on the internet, but if I had to choose whether to get rid of IE or Wysiwyg editors - I'd get rid of Wysiwyg editors.

 

So You think that It is possible to make a web site which will look great in all browsers,

 

Ummm. Yes. I do it on a daily basis.

 

Validate your code and most problems disappear. In other words, dump DW, and learn how to write validatable code. You will spend more time producing good pages and less time chasing nebulous errors.
