Hello from a first timer.
My question is about how web servers deal out pages. I have just started
working on a site, and do all my development and testing on an Apache 2
web server running locally on my Windows XP laptop.
When I transfer the same files (html page, css and images) to my Unix
hosted account, the layout looks different. Not radically different, but
enough to be a bit confusing.
The differences are:
1. In IE6, the two divs which I float (one to the left, one to the
right) have a different width grey border between them. On my local
machine when viewed in the same browser, the border is only 1 px. On my
Unix machine, it is about 10px (as it should be). In Firefox it is fine.
2. In Firefox, the textarea in the right column is a different width. It
runs out of the grey container, whereas in the same browser on my local
machine (and in IE6) it looks fine.
Here is the page in question. I am still fleshing out the layout and
stuff so haven't tried to make it look pretty at all.

Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers
Matt
