I think this might be your problem

Code: Select all

<DIV style="position:absolute;left:160px;top:319px;width:500px;height:144px;z-index:1" align="left">

Try using % instead of px values. That way it will resize according to the browser resolution.

[Also, I know it's not what you asked for and probably intend ammending it later but, I would make a text-editor spell-check a priority. And the link doesn't work yet.)

Nice graphic, btw.

Thx for the quick reply
if i understud you rightly just change all the px to % then it should work ?
i dont have a clue about code and stuff, graffx is what i do code is to much for my little spider brain lol
i used wysiwig webbuilder as its the only thing i know

Code: Select all

link doesn't work yet.)

px is a pixel measurement.
as resolution is measured in px, the px measurement will not change even when the px resolution of the viewer does.

% is a percentage of the browser so if you're displaying a table in 100% of the browser it should display the same in any resolution. Getting the %'s right is a s.o.b. tho.

Everyday I learn something new. thanks !!!

I was having a problem with my DIV layout on my myspace. Everyone was saying it was out of wack and I figured it was their resolution but didn't know why it would do that. Now I know. Thanks !!!!

YW.
I accept Paypal and most major credit cards.

[Learned about that here myself too.]

LOL - Red (you should've posted a paypal pay link). haha that would have been great.

Forums is a great place to learn those thing which seem complicated but are actually pretty simple, just overlooked.
