Please have a look at http://www.atharvinsurance.com/contact.html.

When I saw this page on my laptop using Firefox, Opera and IE, it looked fine on all the three browsers. But after uploading it to the server, it is showing distorted layout on all of these browsers.

Looking forward to some pointers...

These /> are closing tags for XHTML but you declared (old style) transitional HTML. Remove the slashes. Then validate your html and css for those lists of errors.

And you're using tables for your layout. Tables are for tabular data. Use CSS to get the desired look.

Thanks for the guidance. Actually my css file was stale. I have uploaded the correct version, and the page is displaying fine now.

Every page on your site looks like an explosion in a jigsaw puzzle factory on this end (in every browser on earth). Welcome to the World Wide Web. Users control the Web. Not you.
