Help locking graphics or layers to a table?

[Guest]

The best way to lock or hold graphics to a table or a layer to a table not to move when screen size changes.

Additionally, use a fixed table width or nested tables.

Hi
I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for but I shall
tell you how I put graphics into a table. I first fill my page with a
many-celled table. Then I merge cells to create the blank spaces I
want. I insert my pics, then align them to the center. This works
very well for inserting wordart too. you just click on the empty
cell, then click on word art, and create your wordart work, and it
will put it right into the cell. When I am all done adding things, I
merge my cells so that I have only a few large blank ones. I find
that this makes it very easy for me to control the spacing of all
items on the page.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
J

Hi Tec,

I wouldn't reccomend this but in theory.
<style>
#container {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto; }
#innerbox {
position: absolute;
top: -50px;
left: 0px;
border: 1px solid #f00;
width: 200px;}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="innerbox">
this content will move with the table
</div>
<table width=300>this table will be centred </table>
</div>

This takes a lot of code to do something that would be very easy with plain
old tables plus you'd need a workaround for IE5 (very simple) if you want to
center the table as it doesn't support margin:auto, no idea what NN4 will
make of this

Using "layers", ie postioned divs, in conjuction with tables is not going to
be workable. Sounds like a plain old table would be your best approach here
