I urgently need some brainpower on this.

www.dvdknight.co.uk

Created in Photoshop and DWmx. It all looks great when previewed in IE6 on the pc at home (from hd and net), but I just had a look at it from work (ie5) and the content in the `screen` has moved down, taking the images on the left out of alignment...

so what are the ways I can stop DW from doing this? Stop it repeating the bg image? Put the table on a layer? make the font size smaller? help!

I like many aspects of DW, but I`ve always had this trouble with it wanting to take things out of alignment (so it must be me), but I thought I`d cracked it this time when I kept my content smaller than the `screen` size. If there`s any way I can have longer text/content without stuffing up the images on the left that`d be helpful too.

Cheers for any advice...

It's not a DW problem, it's how different browsers handle background images.

Also, if I look at the pages in IE6 with the text size anything other than "smallest" the image of the knight on the left breaks up as the page is stretched in length by larger size text in the tabe cell(s) on the right. In fact with the text size set to largest the "About" page is a complete mess,

You can use CSS to fix the font size, which will help, however the background image in the main page area will be a problem in Netscape. Netscape will repeat a background image of a table in each cell of any table placed within a table with a backround image, I have never found a fix for this.

I'm not sure why you have the image of the knight split into 3, if it were a single image in a cell with the alignmet "Top", then it would stay in one piece even if the table was enlarged by larger text in the right hand cell, but it still wouldn't solve the problem of the background image repeating in Netscape browsers.
