Aha!

Thanks very much for that!

I've now got to make it fit onto the page in 800x600 - shouldn't be a problem though!

Give your IMG an ID or a NAME (can't remember which one, I think its NAME) of "home".

Hi guys,

Many thanks for your help. Basically, I think the best solution for me is to rebuild the design without so many graphics. I've made a start on this and it is coming along nicely now.

Do you have any suggestions for a rollover code? The one I'm using at the moment is:

<A HREF="../index.php">
<img src="images/homeup.jpg" 
onMouseOver="home.src='images/homeover.jpg'" 
onMouseOut="home.src='images/homeup.jpg'" width="226" height="26" 
alt="home" border="0" />
</A>

But it does not seem to be working for some reason. I've got it inside a cell, so I do not know if that is the problem?

Megan - thanks for the compliments. I thought it to be a huge improvement on my previous designs as well - but I've still got a long way to go, I'm yet to validate the code.

Busy - thanks for that! I'll remember it if I ever get stuck like this again. I had started to do what you said but it was going to take ages, and so I decided to recode.

Once again, thanks for your help! I cannot say how grateful I am.

Actually, you could learn something if you watch the code at the same time

You want to replace the white boxes with the text? I don't understand why you're having a problem. Oh, okay, I'm starting to see now. The images called index_20a.jpg are making those green columns. The white is just the background showing through. Try putting the text into the cell with those green backgrounds. I'm not entirely sure how this layout is working but that might do the trick.

However, I don't think this is the best way to code this layout. Instead of using images for those green areas, use a background colour instead. Your dotted lines can be done with css. Everything can be done with css

There are also a lot of white boxes showing all over the place in Opera. I'm not sure why - it could be your spacer.gif's.

While I'm here, I should say that this layout is a big improvement over some of the ones you have posted in the past. Good work!

If you had used seperate tables, the trick is to give each table border a different colour to find the one you need (don't forget to remove these afterwards - only works on IE)

Since you only have one table, turn your table border to 1 (border="1") now guess where you think the td cell is, find a td cell and type BOO save/reload page, keep doing this to every td tag until the "BOO" is displayed in the right td section, remove it from last place tried first, so you only ever have the code in your page once.
But what makes this one real easy is you actually have an image beside the section you want to go into

The easier way would be to just open it up in a WYSIWYG editor and move stuff around (you dont learn anything this way thou)
