content shift while loading STILL

[Guest]

First of all, I created my site in Publisher and then publish to web via FP.

The site works perfectly in preview mode. Once published, each page's
content shifts from the top edge of the page into its place while loading.
Its quite annoying because it did not do this before.
The only changes we have made to the site was to add a hyperlink in 2 of the
pages to a description page (mesquite specs) which we added.

From previous posters, I did make the changes as suggested. I retyped the
entire document in notepad and copied and pasted back into publisher and
reformatted to match the original Word document. I re-published it and it
still doing it!!! aaah!

Is the publisher format what is messing me up? Help, help, help...I'm at
wits end.

Here is the site: www.safarihardwoods.com

Although I don't see any shifting...yes, Publisher may be messing you up
with absolute positioning and it's method of kinda welding images together -
you'll notice your wood sample images are not separate images any
more...they're all melded together.

You pages look good, nice an clean. But if you intend to grow this
site...personally, I'd start from scratch and redo it in FP and lose all
that Publisher html.

If you do...stay away from using WordArt, Autoshapes, and Draw features as
they are IE 5+ only, other browsers will display nothing or downlevel gifs
(not pretty). You can see in your code that Publisher uses some of this
too..vml, autoshapes, absolute positioning...blah blah blah.
