New at this and need some help please:

I have been going nuts trying to create a page without having to scroll
left/right to see all of it. I made a table and centered it, looks great in
preview and preview in browser, but when I open it after upload things are
misaligned. When I check it on another computer it is completley misaligned.
I want it to appear right in the center of screen, on whatever computer it
is looked at on. the site is www.sellracing82.com

Thank you!!

You are using VML graphics (text box in this case) for your link bar.
There are two major problems with this:
1) The links will not work in any browser except Internet explorer.
2) VML text boxes use absolute positioning so they ALWAYS stay in the
same place relative to the top left of the browser window. You cannot
center them if the browser window size is changed. The usual solution
for centering Absolutely Positioned HTML elements is to place placing
the element in a relatively positioned container - this will fail with
text boxes since the positioning used does not follow the usual HTML
rules.

You will have to find an alternative to the text box, or the page will
be unusable in FireFox, Opera and Netscape browsers.

Yes - a new table will work. You will probably have to create graphics
to give the rounded effect - apply these as a cell background image.
