Dear All

I am having trouble with .gif images placed on my web page.

When I preview the site, all is well but when I publish,
the images I placed using the abosolute positioning tool
are all over the place. I have tried correcting within
Frontpage and then republishing but this doesn't seem to
work either.

I have published the site using free web hosting ut get
all the banners of course, is this the problem or am I
missing something obvious.

Regards

Phil

To avoid these problems, avoid absolute positioning.

Absolute positioning would be a wonderful thing if all
browsers interpreted the meaurements the same way, and if
all the *other* content on the page were fixed in place as
well. But neither of these are true.

Avoid using Absolute Positioning, use tables to structure your page layout.

you're probably best off laying out your page in tables. without the url of
the offending page on the server it's impossible to tell what is causing
this.
