Internet Explorer Problems

T

My Web site was designed with a PC and seems to function properly when opened up in Internet Explorer for PC's. However, when opened up on an Apple Computer, the images are erratically thrown down the page. These particular images were placed with FrontPage's "Absolute Positioning" feature and the source code does, in my novice opinion, look a little funky right around them. I was wondering if someone might take a look and help me solve my little mystery...

You can easily solve this by using a table instead of absolute positioning.

Thank-you very much for your speedy and helpful advice. The table solution was the remedy for most of the picture images I am using. The Apple Internet browser is, however, still having a problem handling these images when I overlay them with arrows or text boxes and other shapes. Is there anything I can do about that, or will I have to tinker with the image in a graphic design program before I import it into the table?

Avoid doing that (WordArt, etc = VML Graphics, not well supported), instead add those item in a
image/graphics application directly to the image, then save and re-import into your web.

FYI: WordArt / VML Graphics also uses Absolute Positioning.
