Hello.

I think that your table layout is just too complicated. I removed the rowspan method you were using and I think this will be a lot more stable. Plug it in and see what you think.

A couple more suggestions.

Try using CSS instead of font tags. Also, I like the simplicity of the layout, but I think it would be benificial to have additioal bottom navigation, along with a "top" link anchored to the pages top at the bottom of each page.

Here is the code I was talking about.

That was just too big a mess, click on this link to see the code

add width="100%" in the td cell which holds the content section.

thanks people...

I've been trying to make it so that the navigation doesn't jump around...I don't understand why it's doing that. On the pages that don't really have any content except "check back" it stays the same. On the pages where actually put content it jumps down. On those pages I merged the two table cells on my DW page so that the heading would be a bit higher than the text, but I don't understand why the adjacent table cell would move.

could someone explain to me how to fix it??? thanks.

oops just noticed i missed a few words in my last post lol, should of been:
If you remove the section Renegade mentioned you'll also have to remove the similar section under the navigation table

you have empty td cells before and after your navigation area. It's not a biggy but does tidy up your code

The Navigation is nice and easy. very simple page, but that gives it alot of appeal. I would try hard to make the navigation not move as a user changes pages, but other than that... Not too bad. The graphic at the top needs something. I am sorry I don't know what...but something. Good start.

The first thing i noticed about this site was that there isn't really anything binding the site together. That is, there are kinda three seperate parts - the banner, the nav and the body. I think this is because of the big spaces between them all. I like the graphics at the top and the title 'The Love Family' is a nice font, especially the 'Lo' part of Love. I noticed all of the main body areas tend to have different widths, like the first word of the section doesn't always start in the same place. This removes some of the consistency from it, so that should be fixed. Other than that, its nice and clean, and pleasant to view!

well, it wasn't the content but I mostly got it to look the way I want. I still don't understand what was said about the code...

I didn't see a similar section under the navigation table. I told you I'm not very good at code yet...

I still need to put the alt tags on the nav bar...will do it later today.

thanks people

if you tried what I suggested above and it is the content - add some content, or the cheat way (and you didn't hear it from me ) leave the line of x's in but colour them the same as the background color, which in this case is white. This is seen as spamming by search engines so keep it at one letter or digit and have a space between them.

it's not the content add width="100%" into the td cell with the "no content yet" message.

If you remove the section Renegade you'll also have to remove the similar section under the navigation table

Don't forget to add alt tags to your navigation buttons as well, all you images should have alt tags with descriptions

what about the blue bar? how can i get that to quit moving?
