pictures move at different screen resolutions

[Guest]

I created a web site at home that looks great from my home pc. When I went to
work I went to view it and the pictures had moved. I changed the screen
settings to match the resolution I have at home and it now looks good again.
It seems that the pictures affected were placed using the position absolutely
button since I could not get them where I wanted. How do I fix this?
Thanks, Bill

Don't use absolute positioning. Use tables to design your layout, and
postition your pictures using columns/rows.

Insert a table with the desired rows/columns.

E.T. I clearly said I was at work and not able to look at anything. Don’t be
a jerk. Although I am in the IT field, web pages are new to me. I know how to
create a table and insert links in it but I have never used one to insert
pictures or format the outline of a web. The reason I used the absolute
option was because front page refused to put the picture where I wanted it to
go. I don’t know front page like most of you do, I thought this is where new
people could ask the experienced ones questions. Also being new to this and
not knowing the terminology, how would I look it up in help???

Bill -

What you need to do is insert a table on the page --- how many columns and rows
will be determined by what you're trying to do. Use the columns and rows to
position your pictures and text where you want them to be. Set borders to 0 so the
table will be invisible to the viewer.

HTH,
Craig
