I have created two websites using FrontPage 2003 www.rewindchicago.com and
www.tricoliphoto.com---in both cases when I view these site I see what I
created but when I view them on another computer through the same web browser
(iInternet Explorer) the text is overlapping the pictures. I used abolute
positioning on the www.rewindchicago.com---only on the home page---on all the
other pages I used a text boxes---is that a mistake? I would like to know if
someone is viewing in Microsoft Explorer they see what I see---in the
www.tricoliphoto.com in the galleries you can view packages this is where I'm
having a problem with the text overlapping. Thank you.

It's not just a question of what browser they're using. It's also a question
of the screen resolution settings on the machine, as well as the window size
of the browser instance. Welcome to the World-Wild Web!

Using absolute positioning is fine, as long as you take into account the
fact that not every browser instance in the world will be like yours. The
same goes for using tables. There isn't any easy solution.

Thanks for the information---is there a way I can make sure that the text
says in it's place --- a table, text box, absolute placement---is there a
resolution most people use that I could change my site to?
 
A fixed width table of 750 pixels will work for all users, using a resolution 800 x 600 where you
would insert all content within this table.

So if I use a fixed width table of 750 pixels for the entire web site it
should work? Would I use this on each page? I would then have to work
within those dimensions?
 
Yes. But try it on one page first :-)

You'll have to make some adjustments to image sizes etc.

Once you've got it figured out you can make a blank table and do a Save As for future pages...or set the table for Default.

Easiest way to do it is create an empty table down at the bottom of your existing page, then just drag content down into it..
