My website, www.katlinconsulting.com does not display properly in IE. Some users have said that pages are half off the screen and that layers are overlapping at page bottoms.How do I set the pages sizes so that they are consistent with all browsers?
Thank you.

Hi,
I've had problems with IE not liking pages unless the width was explicitly set, sometimes all it needed was a
width:100%
in the appropriate style,
You could try putting the whole of your page into a div something like . . .
div#outercontainer {
width:800px;
margin:auto;
}
that would limit the width and put equal margins down each side
then wrap the whole of the content in a div tag with id="outercontainer"
there is no closing > on the first <body> tag on the page, that is probably causing the browser to throw a wobbler, hope you will not mind me commenting, your page title is 'home page' it would help the search engines a lot if you called it something relevant to your business <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
