I just finished my myspace layout and when I view it on my computer its set up prefectly, however when I view it on my sister's computer everything is off center. Anyone know why that is or is it because of the different resolutions?

This is how it looks on my laptop and the way its supposed to look

you're getting that problem because you've only positioned each div to work on a 1280x800 resolution screen.

your divs look like this:
CODE
<div class="content" style="position: absolute;
left: 740px; top:835px; width:250px; height:80px; overflow: auto; ">

that means that specific div will always be 740 pixels from the left side of the browser, no matter the size of the screen. (try changing the size of your browser, and you'll see what i mean.)

to fix it, you need to change the left:; property to left:50%; and you'll have to position the div with margins. left:50%; moves the left side of the div halfway across your browser. from there, you can adjust the position from the center using margin-left:;

so for example, using the div up there, if you wanted it in the exact center of your screen, it would look like this:
CODE
<div class="content" style="position: absolute;
left: 50%; top:835px; margin-left:-125px; width:250px; height:80px; overflow: auto; ">

i used margin-left:-125px; because the width of that div is 250 pixels. using negative numbers moves it to the left, while positive numbers move it to the right.

you'll have to adjust all of your divs doing that.
