I am creating my first real website for a company I am interning with and I have completed it using Dreamweaver CS5 and everything looked great when I previewed it on my computer. When it was loaded onto the FTP site the formatting is now all messed up on both Chrome and Firefox but it looks correct on IE the website is skylar.infinityutah.com

Were you previewing in IE as you were designed? And which version of IE was it?

If you're using 6, 7 or 8 to build your website, your CSS will not be standards compliant, this might be the cause of the problems.

Could you upload a screenshot of what it looks like in IE? (I'm on a mac).

Use FF & Chrome will be rendering correctly it will be IE and DW that have it wrong.

I used Firefox and Chrome when I was checking compatibility while creating the website.

I find when i have issues like this, fixing up your HTML to be standards compliant goes a long way to ensure your website looks much more similar (although not identical) accross browsers.

Your website shows 36 validation errors:

If you have any questions about a specific error let me know and I will try help.

I agree with cbeaudin. Best bet for cross-browser compatibility is validated XHTML and CSS. Your XHTML should be semantic and all ornamental treatments should be handled through CSS. Dreamweaver is a powerful program, but it does add validation errors to your code. I always recommend being able to hand code a site before jumping in and using DW for this reason.
