Since you wrote "both of you", I'll assume you are replying to both mine
and WLS's responses.

I have SM on three computers all three look wrong to me.
Yes I have Advertise SM enabled.
Surely you meant "Advertise Firefox..." :-)
I highly tweak fonts and screen sizes on my machines. It could be
related to that. I have noticed that whatever Windows does to 1920 x
1200 screen sizes to make them work often breaks things that smaller
screen resolutions do not.
Ah. Tweaking fonts and sizes. Of course this could affect anything you
view on the computer, not just web pages in one browser.
Or are both of you using non Windows clients and this is simply a
Windows issue?
Both I and WLS are using a Linux operating system. However, that has
nothing to do with your taurausbass site and how it appears. I think you
need to provide a screenshot of how you see it in SeaMonkey.
Most of the issues I have are with HTML coded e-mails that look fine
in the web client in IE but not Seamonkey.
Hmm? That's a completely different issue. First, every webmail
interpreter is different from the next one, as different as the product
that *composed* it, and as different from your local client as well.
Apples/oranges/persimmons.
As for the "The web site was not properly written" argument. I find
this a poor argument.
It is a very good argument. First, I said most of the problems posted
here have to do with browser sniffing. That's ignorance on the author's
part. Second, a single page can "look" different in two or more of your
browsers because you've "tweaked" the default settings on one of them.
Third, if an author writes valid code, the browser is bound to display
it correctly, but if he makes an error, all browsers *are free* to
interpret the error however they see fit.
Car analogy. You buy a new car, and it comes to you with two pistons
missing, no passenger seat, just one windshield wiper, and the left rear
brake won't activate when you step on the middle pedal. However, that's
okay, because it is up to you to drive it without any incident. It's
okay that there's no inspection at the factory assembly line.
They may be poorly written, but that is a fact of life of the web and
the browsers job is to do the best it can do deal with that. If
another browser can properly render a poorly written website, but SM
cannot then I see this as a SM problem, not the website.
Again, look into your tweaks that differ among your browsers, and
provide a screenshot of that taurusbass page with the "buttons." You
need to realize that web authors have a responsibility, too.
How do you see this page?

If web authors even *knew* about validation, the web would be a much
cleaner place.
