Hey everybody. I just designed a homepage for my web design course. Yea i'm kinda new to it but i've coded my xhtml and css correctly, validated it on w3c's website but I have a problem.
Whenever I change the window size or zoom in or change resolution, all the elements on my page move and are a jumble. My website isn't online yet it is all in folders on my computer. My resolution is 1440x900. If somebody knows what i'm talking about or can help me privately (as in, I can send you screen shots and the coding) that would be very much appreciated. |

It sounds like you've used absolute positioning to put elements on your website. This is one of the big problems with absolute positioning and why it shouldn't be used. It probably would look terrible on my 1024x768 screen.
Here's a small introduction of other methods to lay out pages with CSS: http://w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_float6 -------------------- Always going straight to the point, the simplest approach is always the best.

you can't copy/paste the code into a post?
are you using percentages or fixed width units? This post has been edited by thescientist: Mar 9 2010, 02:17 PM -------------------- validator | <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
