I built a web page for my 4-h club and i am having problems with the positioning of things. they are all lined up when i put them in, but when i put it on the net, they are all out of wack. I don't have a clue why.

If anyone wants to check out the site for curiousity,
but it isn't anything fancy!! its pretty plane jane for now.

Keith, the page looks fine to me, what elements (or things) you want to line up? On which page?

I'm not suprised that FrontPage will do that. Swich to Nvu or Mozilla Composer

The reason elements on the front page of your website aren't positioning themselves the way you want them to is because of bad coding. Rather than aligning elements to the center, you have instead aligned elements to the left and used non-breaking spaces ([tt] [/tt]) to move elements closer to the center. You have properly centered elements on other pages (using the [tt] align="center"[/tt] attribute).

FrontPage 2000 is rather old, and has a tendency to create poorly-coded web pages that render best only in Internet Explorer. For such a simple website, you would not be disadvantaged in using a more standards-complient HTML editor such as that provided in Mozilla 1.7.5.

As side notes, the "Home" link on the front page does not work since it is erroneously linked to a document named "index.html.htm." You call upon fonts such as "Bradley Hand ITC" that are not common, and would obviously not appear on a computer that does not have the font installed. You also attempt to play a sound on the front page by using the code [tt]<bgsound src="Robotz%20Windows%20Exit.wav" loop="3">[/tt]; this is a bad idea as [tt]<bgsound>[/tt] only works in Internet Explorer while other tags such as [tt]<embed>[/tt] work in both Internet Explorer and Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox. (Links to more information on embedding sound).) Finally, I would suggest giving the page a title more descriptive than "BEEFIN."

Greetings Keith ...

Nice Web-Page and Images.

Regarding your images, I made note of something that many web-page designers do not often consider - specificly, image download time and the potential adverse effect on a web-site's bandwidth allotment.

That's a nice guide FrankoSport.

I agree with the first part... speeding up for visitors. You don't see me posting high quality and large graphics in SillyDog701 Message Centre, simply I resized all screenshots. And I also request not include images (inline images) that are wider than 550 pixel.

As for saving precious bandwidth, I have plenty to waste :-)

Greetings Keith ...

The results I get when re-sizing with IrfanView are usually pretty good.

If sizing down from a large image, quality is virtually not an issue. It's when you make larger size copies of smaller images that the quality issue is likely to come into play.

If your page visitors want to see large versions of a small image, make a hyperlink for the image in question that will call up a larger image.

Here is HTML text for thumbnail image linking

And here's a page from my web-site, where thumbnails represent larger images -- Street Signs-Roadside Objects
