    I'm having a problem making my web pages all aling. They all seem to be fine except the main page, and one of the sub pages...

    http://globerove.com/

    That one is a little offset to the left, and this one aswell.

    http://www.globerove.com/destinations/bermuda/index.php

    How do I correct this problem?

    Thank you in advance,
    Mike

    What browser are you seeing this "offsettness" in. (is that a word, ha)

    I checked it in IE, and FF, and I don't see anything offset.

    i'm using FF, in IE it looks fine, but when I view the page in FF for some reason it gets offset to the left. I guess its not a huge deal, I just couldn't figure out why. I wanted to make sure the links on the menu stayed in the same place, but like I said in FF its off just a little on the home page and the info link. Is there any reason you can think of that would cause that?

    Thanks for the response

    Would it be that some pages have a vertical scrollbar, and some don't?

    cheers,

    Sorry, I'm just not seeing anything different between IE and FF. The only difference I see between the two browsers is where the words wrap in the main paragraph.

    I agree with kk5st, it is simply becuase of the vertical scrollbar. It happens on my websites as well.

    This definately a veritcal scrollbar issue.

    FF hides the scrollbar for pages that are greater than window height. In IE the scrollbar is there, but just greyed out. Therefore in FF when you switch to pages that cross this height threshold the scrollbar dissappear and reappear accordingly thus changing the width of you have avaliable and therefore your centered page will shift.

    Watch your scrollbars when you switch the pages that shift. Also try shrinking your FF window on the small pages such that the scrollbar appears and the bug should disappear.

    I don't know how to compensate for this FF feature. I suspect you will have to live with it.

    A simple fix is
    
    html {
        padding-bottom: 1px;
        }
    Code (markup):
    That forces a vertical scrollbar.

    cheers,
