I was wondering why my web page looks correct in the cross browser app using Windows 7 and choosing Chrome 14 and FireFox 7, but when I view it in these browsers on an actual PC running Windows 7, it is broken.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

These are always hard, as

These are always hard, as there are tons of permutations that can make the same version of a browser show differently on 2 different machines. Some of the examples I have seen:
- screen resolution
- large fonts set on
- I have seen a particular browser plugin impact the way a page renders (this was particularly hard to isolate)
- point releases of the browser being different
- display settings DPI being different (on Windows)

Thanks
