I am totally baffled by this: I'm only starting to play with web design. I have several pages that I put up on Yahoo Geocities a few months ago, and now that school's out I have the time to revise them. The page that's giving me fits is at http://www.geocities.com/windpuffs/d...toys/toys.html . The problem I'm having is that when I view the page in four different browsers from my desktop it looks exactly the way I want it; but when I post it with Yahoo and then try to view it with the same four browsers, the formatting changes: specifically, the indentation for the paragraphs becomes variable. I don't think it makes any difference, but the browsers I'm using are Firefox, Opera, Netscape, and IE.

I have repeatedly deleted and re-added the .html and the .css files, and purged all old files from my system, near as I could tell. Why me?!

I found the solution:

In Yahoo "File Manager" I had to click on the .css and click "view file" (i.e. NOT "edit"). Then click "refresh." Apparently that purged the file, because now I can view the updated version in all four browsers without problems.

Thanks for your interest!

It could also have to do with the adds that get put on your site from geocities.....

My recomendation would be to get some cheap webhosting you can get things as cheap as 12 bucks a year....keep in mind you dont get much but if you are just starting out do you really need much?.... also becarefully when getting cheap hosting if your getting something for 12 bucks a year it should coem with much so dont be fooled by places that are offering everything for nothing.....

Also some places offer free hosting without adds just look around Im sure you can find something better than geocities

I don't know a place without adds, (and I've done a lot of searching) but I do know of some free hosting places where the adds or minimal, or sometimes don't work:

www.websiteallies.com
http://free.prohosting.com

Both have a version of perl. websiteallies has PHP and MySQL, but I'm not sure that prohosting does.
