Hello, I have a page with an attached DWT to it. It is
an .asp page, which looks fine in frontpage preview. The
problem is when I upload it to the web, somehow the page
gets all distorted and the number of <table> and </table>
tags somehow get uneven and I am left with an open table.
(I'm assuming thats why it looks distorted) In frontpage
all of my tables are closed for sure. (counted them 5
times) If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this or why
it's happening, please let me know.

Thank You

Mary,

I reviewed the page in IE6 and NS 7 and to be honest nothing really jumped
out at me, as far as the page being distorted. You will have some scrolling
in a 800x600 res. but it is not that big of a deal.

You have some open space in places, but it doesn't look out of place.

did u login?
after you login that's when the page gets all messed up.
the tables jump all over the place..
 
Try removing the bottom shared border (really should not use shared borders
in a DWT - the DWT replaces shared borders.)
Paste the code in that shared border into the DWT, immediately after the
<body> tag, as instructed in the line:
<!-- DO NOT MOVE! The following AllWebMenus code must always be placed right
AFTER the BODY tag-->

IMO, the code is not very good - a <span> should be enclosed by a block
level tag, such as <div>, <p>, <td> etc., here it is being used *as* a
block level tag.

I agree. There are tags without terminations, and terminations without
tags. There's a good bit of clean up needed in my opinion, although I am
not sure if that is responsible for the issues.
 
nothing looks "distorted" (don't know what you mean by using that term) but I do
have to scroll right to see the full content of the page. (assuming you designed
at 1024x768 - I'm viewing at 800x600).
 
Actually the scrolling-right issue is a big P.I.T.A.

but I don't see what you mean about the distortion.
 
would you say this code is alright then?
http://trackrecordz.com/faq.htm Everything i did was in
frontpage on this page.. The page i'm having problems with
is after you login. I simply cut and pasted code from
the "spooky login system" into a table. The thing is, it
looks fine in frontpage preview, but when i login on the
net it looks horrible, as you can see.
 
How should I go about correcting this? I specifically made
my main layout table 800 pixels wide. I thought that
anyone viewing 800x600 would have the full table on screen
without having to scroll.

thanks...
 
On an 800x600 pixel screen, even when the browser is maximized (not
kiosked), you only have about 760px of width. Wider than that and you get a
scrollbar.
 
The usable width of an 800x600 browser window is little more than 760px
(varies with browser, and browser version), so tables should be set to no
more than 760px wide.
