Grouping objects within a centered table

[matt_parrill]

I am working on a page in FP2003 in which I am using a table to center a JPG.
Over the JPG (but not centered over the JPG) I want to place some navigation
items that will have image swap behaviors. The challenge I am having is how
to group (or nest) these objects so that they center in unison for various
screen resolutions. FP2003 seems to be able to group objects generated from
the Drawing menu, but nothing else. I have tried using additional tables and
cells (even within layers), but can get the objects to format correctly.

Any help is appreciated!

<div style="margin:0 auto">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr>
<td align="center">Navigation components go here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="images/whatever.jpg" width="300" height="200"
alt="whatever blah"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

This places the navigation components over the image, and both centred
in a centred table. The navigation can be in its own table if required.
Provided the image and total length of the navigation are small
enough, this will work in all common browser portal widths. Screen
resolution only determines the maximum browser width - not the width the
browser is set to. Note that, apart from the image, no sizes are
specified.

Thanks Ron. I tried this and it did create what appeared like a text box with
the graphic within it, but I never got it located properly. The coding is out
of my league. I'm probably like most other people and I'm really looking for
a solution within the GUI.

From a simplistic viewpoint, I just want to associate two objects (a
graphic within a table and a cell, or perhaps a table and another table in a
different layer) so that they stay in the same location/proportion to one
another.

My only option is to force everything to the left and keep it there, but it
looks bad on wide screens.
