I am working on a website for a business. This is my first one to do, and I'm learning everything from books. I've finished the homepage, FINALLY, but I have one slight problem! It renders differently when I look at it in IE. I built the page in Dreamweaver CS3 in a liquid layout, not realizing I should've used a fixed layout so the text wouldn't render in some weird way. My CSS book mentions very little about converting, but I don't know very much about coding right now and I'm afraid to mess everything up if I try to figure out what the directions mean. Thanks.

Let us see the website,
that's the best way we can help you ... by seeing what you have (online for real).
If it's zero degrees outside today, and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

arin,

Yes it is possible to convert a liquid layout to a fixed layout. It’s a piece of cake. Liquid layout means that all widths -- web page, columns, text ... --, have set in %-s, you should only converte them in px-s, that’s all, nothing else.
