Ok, so i'm making this website and whenever I open it up in internet explorer (only when its online - on my local computer it looks fine) the page is all jumbled up.

I found the problem is "Compatibility Mode". Once I click that, the webpage shows up just fine. But I want it to look this way to every user no matter what. Is there a script that anyone knows about so that onload it will "click" Internet Explorers Compatibility Mode button?

Have you tried playing with different doctypes?

[Howdy_McGee]

I have never really understood doc types so I wouldn't even know where to start or how it would affect how the webpage is being viewed. What would need to be changed?

Hi,
Try this ref: HTML doctype declaration,
it might be helpful.
Doctype declaration should be the first lines of every HTML files.

Your doctype was XHTML 1.0, if your code isn't compliant, that could be causing issues.

Well i'm using strict XHTML, though im using next to none XML except for my RSS feed which I believe gets XML externally.

So should I use the HTML rather than the XHTML?
