Resolution & alignment issues with FP

[Guest]

Hi -

When I view my page at different resolutions, text and images scatter all over the page from where they were placed at the resolution I built the page

1) What is the "industry standard" for page resolution? 800x600
2) When using textboxes in front page, how do you keep them stationary within a table, so that when you maximize and minimize the window, the textboxes don't move out of place on the page

Thanks in advance for any help possible
Karen

Use tables instead of absolute positioning of page elements.

Use tables instead of absolute positioning of page elements.

You'd better be careful with radical statements like that. (The
CSS ideologues will be along to flame you anytime now

They have in the past, but once you know how to work with tables, you can do
almost anything and have it work in all browsers that support tables.

I'm with you. I like pages that appear properly in as many browsers
as possible. The idealogues seem to think that falling back to a 1995
appearance is acceptable to my clients and that the web is "about
content, not appearance". Evidently they don't have any real
clients
