resolutions problems?

resolution and browser same on 2 pc's.

on no.1 (the PC on which the web was created) when i view
my web it looks fine.

on no.2 (my home PC) the images in my top most cells and
right most cells are missing, with no option to scroll to
the right, so they have, in effect, dissappeared.
Some other pages images are apppearing differently too
even though both screens and browesers appear to be set up
the same.

If this is a published web, could you post the URL

When viewed here your problem is browser dependent. It
appears to be R/T some bad table structure and the use of
layers so that some images are overlapping and obscuring
other elements on the page. Left aligning "Europannew.jpg"
seems to correct some of the problem as I see it in IE5mac.
It is currently centered in the cell. Page looks ok in NS7.

Be careful about mixing percent and fixed pixel widths in
tables and cells. It can be done but must be done with
care. You may get better control using nested tables
instead of the layers you're using now. Your page is also a
little too wide for 800x600 res. One table is set to a
width of 800. 750 or so is about the max width you'll get
without the need for horizontal scrolling in that res.

In passing noticed something that happens when pages are
built using colors that are common browser defaults. Make
sure to set a background color for your page. Not all
browsers default to a white BG. Same goes if using black
for text.

Macuser,

thanks for the tips... Im not sure what you mean by
layers as i have used what i consider to be nested
tables... tables within tables. Why do my images overlap
on some browsers?

Also i assumed if a nested table was inside a table with a
fixed width and height then the nested tables would not
shrink even with a percentage width as the table
surrounding them was of a fixed size?
