On my development computer, the new site looks and acts great.
But when I ask a coleage to check it, the pages never look right:
example:
1. the gridviews are always overlaping text.
2. some of the controls are in various places on the page
like where they should not be.
I have (what appears to be) the tables, rows, columns and cells set
correctly.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks,

Don't build the site for a specific screen resolution. Try it out with
the browser window in different sizes. You don't have to have the
browser maximised, you know...
You should also try what happens when you resize the browser window.
That tells you a lot about what happens at different sizes.
Select a minimum resolution that you expect your visitors to have, like
800x600 or 1024x768, depending on the target audience. Make sure that
the site works well at that size and above, and that it is at least
usable for the few that might have a lower resolution.
Generally your site would have a minimum size for the content, so that
scroll bars appear if the browser window is too small. Remember that
scrolling vertically is very common, while having to scroll horisontally
is quite irritating.
