Html: Help Urgently Needed

Hi there,

At the moment i am designing a website on ADSL. I have a made a pretty decent layout in Fireworks. I have then inserted the picture into the table and centred the table so it remains in the centre of the screen. Now this is where both problems come in.

1) When i change monitor resolution the table does not stay in the centre of the page like it is suppose too.

2) The layers that i am using for text move and are always in a different position from where they are suppose to be.

Is there anyway i can keep the table in the centre of the screen when viewed at different resolutions and is there anyway i can lock the layers so they stay exactly where they are supposed to be even if it is viewed in a different resolution?

If you use tables and percentages and alignments properly, you can. You'll have to show us the page so we can comment on what's wrong.

Read this post:

Centering your site content

It is my explanation/solution that I gave to someone else with the same problem.

Hi,

when you design your apge in fireworks, the code that the generator writes is is useless, same as FrontPage!! buts thats besides the point.

The real reason behind it is thatthe Javascript /DHTML that Fireworks writes when positioning for links, hotspots, sliced areas that are hioghlighted in your page to actually do something, they are co-ordinate3 based and is only based on YOUR current resolution and refresh rate, and is positioned absolutely, therefore will not take into account anything else on the page at all.

The solution to your problem is either use CSS/tables and relative alignment on your page to correct/compensate fgor this problem, but youre not gonna get much out of this one as youre workign against a persistent problem, but try away, you might gget further than me with this...

You could design several pages on the same design and use a bit of server code to test the resolution of your page the redirect, or use a select box to do this and let the use pick, but the latter is dodgy!!!

Or, you could design the page in a proper web page designer and code it yourself..

hope this helps
