tried it, and. . .

Well, I tried it and it didn't seem to work on my version. I'm going to re-slice the image and try to re-construct the thing again, I can't imagine why this is being *such* a pain, and of course since it's for my guy, well, you know...

I'll let you guys know where I'm at with it soon, thank you

Thank you again, everyone. . .

I'm going to try the fix when I return on Friday... I have a "surprise" funeral 3 hours away that I'm leaving for early this afternoon - so the "fix" will have to wait a couple days. I will most certainly let you guys know how it goes!

Thanks again,
Sherry

You beat me to it busy! Don't forget to let us know the finished result Sherry

right margin, left margin, what next lol, oh well all will be phased out with XHTML anyways (have to use css then)

i couldnt find the problem at all last night, as the bottom images are all black (cant even read the top right section), so I downloadd it now (the page) and lightened the graphics and found the gap - woohoo

ok easy fix

the td cell that holds table of the about image, give it width of 100%, and give it a bgcolor of black, also the td cell that holds the table for the links, give that a 100% width as well, you;ll have to add some align=center tags in your link table cells (or loose that table all together) as opera (odd one out) isnt aligning them all centered, works perfect in NS4.7, NS6, IE5 and apart from the alignment of links in opera6 (as Opera6) is all the same, works on 800x600 and 1024x768 the same (Opera6 letting the team down lol)

you dont need to use as many tables as your using, especialy for thing like these links, the middle step, about image etc, you should also use quotes on tags,

Flame you!?! we wouldn't do that! Not until you've lowered your guard and let your defenses down at least!

I just have to say...

Working hard on a solution myself w/ some others - if I find out b4 anyone else, I will post the results to help others who may have the same issuess

Thanks all!

Sorry StarMaiden, but I haven't got Opera loaded. Will have a look at the code though, we'll all see what we can come up with...

margins et al...

StarMaiden — Tue, 05 Feb 2002 12:04:37 +0000

...yes, that's precisely why I set the right & bottom margins... I want the page to nicely fill the right side of the browser or else the cleanness of scaling is compromised

now if I could just solve these gaping *bleh* spaces I haven't tried Opera 6 yet, but Opera 5 has issues with this page, and since my b/f (his site) has a lot of Linux friends, Opera & NS 4.7 are seriously important audiences to consider... of course 4.7 is the absolute worst - just my luck!

"can't we all (browsers) just get along???" [ha!]

rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" arent needed

Busy, those two are needed for IE6... sometimes. I've noticed in IE6 that some pages show up with a right and bottom margin... and some don't. I'm uncertain exactly what criteria IE6 follows for those margins but I'd advise using them.

I know this because I had a problem with a rightmargin showing up in IE6 in one of my sites, and I solved it by setting it to 0.
...Then again, some other pages don't have this problem, and they don't have rightmargin settings either. :confused:

Welcome

I had a sneak peek (am on my way to bed) in NS4.7, IE5 and Opera6 all displayed the same except for some slight coloring differences, i use 800x600 but checked next size up as well. ns and opera dont display the scroll bars as there is no scrolling needed but no gaps

looking at the source code a few things I could point out (not related)
rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" arent needed, the other 4 you have include these
your missing a # in your body bgcolor and td bgcolor tags, and your font tags
height="100%" isnt advised, it works but can throw thing sout
you can css for background images, this works in NS4.7 and up (not sure about any lower)
'a' isnt a css tag, a:link, a:active, a:visted, a:hover are, 'a' by itself is an empty tag, a container, not a link as 'a' is used for other things besides links.
valign="middle" isnt needed as its the default, unless your upper tag is aligned different

nice design btw
