Created a form in frontpage using a form and layers. Looks great on my
computers resolution...800 x 600 but is all over the place on any other...
(forgot to check this).

Is there any kind of quick fix for this? Can i redo it all in tables ... not
sure if forms work inside of tables.

Pls help.

Read this to discover that resolution really has very little to do with it -

Your problem is that the masthead and menu are part of a centering table.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="772" id="AutoNumber1" height="25"
align="center">

Remove this from that <table> tag's markup and see what happens -

align="center"

Yes, do the layout in tables. Forms work in tables also - tables are a
layout tool more than anything, so you can build a table within the <form>
and </form> tags and use colums and rows to make your form fields and field
titles/headings/labels line up and look nice, rather than using the space
bar or tab key and wishing the things would line up.

What will happen if we do? Put a layer inside a table? Also, Everytime I
try to insert a table in frontpage, it comes out the full size of the page.
For instance. I click on the insert table icon on the tool bar and pick 4
rows and 4 columns, but then it is super big, the whole size of my webpage.
It knocks everything out of place. Is there a main setting to fix this? The
tables use to insert small before. The main settings must have got messed up
some how and I don't how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'll send Guido to hurt you. And you will inherit a rack of browser
problems as each browser tries to figure out where to start calculating
the offsets for the layer's position, and gets it wrong (usually).


In FP2003, when I do TABLE | Insert > Table, I see this on that busy
dialog panel (see snap). By setting the table to a fixed width rather
than a percent width, you may get better results.
