Slow down spinal ... i was about 30 seconds behind you there lol

Daniel · #4 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 11:20

right ive doubled it to 800 but the 5 images that go across the top of the page have now been split up and they are one image. How do i combat this?

Dan, do you have a link to this site so we can see what the images are doing.

Sorry, I'm the visual sort

Have to do the whole site myself from scratch lol

Naw, I'm here to help you with anything you need with either XHTML or CSS. If you want more personal help, send me a PM

Accurax · #10 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 15:48

Dan the table cells that contain your 3 images are set to 20% width.... try setting these cells to the same width as the images.

Does it help?

Ryan Fait · #11 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 15:52

I'll get you off of tables. Just tell me you're willing to learn and I'll do my best to help you advance in this field.

karinne · #12 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 16:50

And for a good start, go check out the new thread I created in the Beginner Resources section - Resources for learning how to use CSS for layout

spinal007 · #13 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 18:12

There's plenty of help in this thread, I'll just move swiftly on...

Daniel · #14 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2007, 18:13

problem is it has to be tables cause its an assessment

Ryan Fait · #15 (**permalink**) Jan 12th, 2007, 02:59

I'd totally surpise the teacher.

"Look Mr. Martini, I went the extra mile to make sure people with disabilities could easily navigate my homework. Do you have a problem with that?"

daygon · #16 (**permalink**) Jan 12th, 2007, 16:23

Um... everythings been coverd here for meso im not going to give advice. Either you learn css or not change the size of the page so your layout dont get messed up. I suggest css. But you know thats just me and rian will help you out with that or if you need help when he's not around just aim me im always on 24/7. And do i spot a .png?!?!?!?!?!?

Dan you discourage me. Now im sad. I looked up to you man. Now i feel pitty.

He will fail you for making him look stupid.

Or he'd pull out his Microsoft credentials and say:
"That's not how we do it around here boy. You can ask Gill Bates himself!"

Those are two good points I can't ignore

Drop the class and save yourself from having to unlearn and then learning, Dan.
