Angry Need help with justification-pictures misaligned
Hi, I have a basic knowledge of HTML, enough to maintain a website. I recently turned over my job to someone who is coding the same site that I was, except he's doing it on a 19-inch monitor, vs. a 16-inch. Now many of his changes have caused problems with the justification-pictures that used to line up are misaligned on a 16-inch monitor, even though they look fine on his monitor. What tags can I enter so that the site reads correctly no matter what size monitor is used to create/edit the site? Thanks!!

I reccomend using tables to align things, and basing all measurements off of percentages and not pixles.

The site was set up with tables; however the original designer didn't specify pixel width for the pages; I understand 760 pixels is optimum; where exactly in the code do you add <table width="760"> I've tried it in several places, and the table looks the same-it's still too wide. Is it okay to post the actual web page on this forum so you can see what the problem is?

whenever the very fist table tag is, that will be the main table on the page, i reccomend doing a search for the word. just add width="760 after the first table tag and it should make that the set width. (it might look like <table border="1" bgcolor="pink" width="760"> and then the rest of the things will continue) I still reccomend percentages but that shouldn't be too bad.

OK, that seems to help. There are several tables on each page. Do I have to put <width="760"> on each table or just the first one and the others will adjust? Also, I assume that when my counterpart works on his 19 inch monitor, his resolution is set at 1024. Does he have to reset his display to 800 before he makes any more changes? I was concerned that if he continues to work at 1024, there will be problems with the page even though it has the <width="760"> tag.

it doesn't matter what his resolution is at because what the veiwer sees is based upon their resolution if he wants to compare his veiw with others he could change the resolution but that would be the only reason. Yes, just the first one. But that's assuming you have a table that all your other content is contained in. You can do amazing things with nested tables. If the parent table is set at 760 everything within will have to fit inside. It will look the same on any screen that is bigger than 760. If the setup you are doing is different post.

I don't think the tables are nested; they are just separated by a horizontal line. I think what he's doing is lining up the tables and pics using Frontpage editor instead of hard-keying in the widths. So his view looks perfect on his screen but not on everyone else's smaller screen...

ahhh, yeah, then for each table just put in the width as 760. That will make each table the same width, now another problem might be the size of the pictures adujsting for smaller screens, if it still doesn't work right, look into setting the width and height of each picture.

The pictures are hard keyed with the width/height, so the size is okay. I'll go ahead and change the tables and add the width to each...
