Graphics and Text using ...FP 2002

[Jim C]

I have been using FP 2002 since 2002. and have a small web site,
www.jcjigs.com using an excellent hoster (IMO) ..... I find problems using
text and graphics on the same page.
After adding text I position graphics under or near the text.
.....(resolution of graphics have been reduced to (50dpi). it looks good in
preview and after uploading to view in a browser most all graphics are not
in position, in most cases I must position a graphic on the text in front
page for it to be where I want on a browser, I have been using the
automatic thumbnail feature for easier page downloading. is using a
thumbnail giving me this problem? any help is greately appreciated.

Sounds like you are using absolute positioning - that will always give
trouble unless you fully understand how positioning works. Try viewing
the page in a browser, then use View->Text size to change the font size.
In FireFox, Opera, and other browsers the positioning will really go
bad - in IE the display will depend on whether you used points, pixels
or something else to size the text.

Layout the page using tables - it's old fashioned, but works.

As Ronx mentioned you're using absolute positioning. You're also using the
space bar for text postiioning which is a no-no. Since you're using tables
for layout anyway, place the pictures and names of the jigs in a table with
each one in a separate cell. That will help with your alignment problem.
