I have downloaded the Opera web browser and my web site shows up with all the
cells bigger than what they are, this destroys the image size. Does anybody
know how I sort this out.

Have you designed the site layout with tables? If not - do so - and make the
tables width about 750pixels wide. (or set as a percent so they expand with
different screen resolutions - probably no more than 95% of the browser window
width).


As to the current problem, it is probably just how Opera interprets the code and
renders the page.

Can you provide the URL please?

Yes I am using tables, I don't understand what you mean by 95% ? The web site
which I am designing isn't on a server as yet, but you can look at my old web
site which has the same problem. If you open the site in Opera you will see
what I mean. www.MorleyWebDesigns.co.uk

Andrew,

To save any confusion, I have uploaded the site I am working on. The address
is below, again if you open it in Opera you will see what I mean about the
images being messed up. www.ThamesideMotorAuctions.co.uk

Many thanks,

You might improve results if you redo your table cells so that <td> opening
tag is on the same line as </td> closing tag
Example:
<td><img src="whatever.jpg"></td>

rather than
<td>
<img src="whatever.jpg"></td>
or
<td><img src="whatever.jpg">
</td>
Also removing extra spaces from some cells may help - example
<img....>
&nbsp;</td>
remove the &nbsp;

The illegal HTML in use may also be affecting the rendition
<table...height="650"> is not valid with a strict !doctype, as (I believe)
are <font> tags. Also uppercase tags are invalid when using XHTML.
The rendition of the page is just as bad in Mozilla FireFox 1.0, which is
the best browser I have found.
Removing the !doctype cures the problem in Firefox.

Plus any time you mix % and px in a cell you are asking for unpredictable results from the various browsers as in
<TD ROWSPAN="12" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="650" background="images/layout078_edit_1x2.jpg">
&nbsp;</TD>

And use a transparent gif as a cell holder instead of &nbsp;
- which all browsers render as text at various sizes
- and some browsers will tile your background if there is not an image over it
