to this -

Finally, change this -

to this -

<div id="wrapper">
(you had several improperly terminated <div align="center" tags there)
Oh, one more thing - get this layer OUT OF THE TABLE - never put absolutely
positioned page elements into a table cell -
<div style="position: absolute; width: 546px; height: 242px; z-index: 1;
left: 497px; top: 367px" id="layer1">
<i>
<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:
2pt"> <img border="0" src="../varsity_images/MCj02955030000[1]3.gif"
width="180" height="239" align="right"></font></i><p style="margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0">
....snip...
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><i>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="4" color="#FFFFFF">
Height: 5'8"</font></i></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"></div>
You would do that by cutting that code from the page, and pasting it back
immediately above the closing </div><!-- /wrapper --> tag.
I realize that this may be alot for someone unaccustomed to working with
HTML markup, so I have posted the modified page here - you can browse to it
(none of the images will work, but don't worry about that), copy the source,
and paste it into the page in your site.

BEWARE - I fear that the VML frame around your center text area are not
going to respond properly to this treatment. It would be wise to remove it,
in my opinion.
FURTHER BEWARE - putting text content into an absolutely positioned element
(that layer) is a very bad idea. Take a look at the page in Firefox and see
what happens when you increase the text size a few clicks....

ATV said:Thank you so much for all the time and help. It made me start thinking
about
other ways to accomplish my goals. I took out the layer completely. I
put
all the player info into the blue header that was already there. The only
thing I lost was the black line... and I can easily live without that. I
do
wonder what word art you meant... the placeholder for the photo? If so..
that's just temporary.
Thank you again so very much.

:
That's not a "frame". The use of that term is definitely confusing.
And using the wrapper as you have may be overkill for what you want to
accomplish - although it is a great way to center the page.
Are you using any absolute positioning? If not, then remove the
position:relative from your wrapper. Everything will still center,
and
you
will have removed an unnecessary style that could come back to bite
you
later when you forget it's there. It's doing nothing for you.
Could I see this page? I am interested to see why this solves your
problem - the two seem unrelated to me.

I'm sorry. I was trying to be so brief that I was not
understandable.
I built a website with a table. The right column has been blank on
every
page so that I can fill it with the oppropriate text.
I am at a page now, however, that I need to break that colum into
two
rows.
The top half needs a background fill with text and a picture. The
bottom
row
will remain blank for text. The top is a little too complicated for
the
table to handle so I thought I'd make a frame. The frame looks
perfect.
I
put the following code in:
The head:
<!--
body { text-align:center; }
#wrapper { text-align:left; width 750px; margin:0 auto;
position:relative; }
</head>
in the body I have
<body...>
<div id="wrapper">
at the end of the body I have
</div><!-- /wrapper -->
</body>
Even with the code -- which I've used a dozen times before, the
frame I
created is throwing to the right of the screen. There must be a
piece
of
the
code I'm missing.
I hope this is a better explanation of my problem.
Thanks
:
I'm trying to channel your code, but I'm failing. Can you put your
head
closer to the monitor?

Help!!! I built an entire website off a simple table. I haven't
needed a
frame until now. I put a wrapper in the header and the body and
the/body.
My frame keeps throwing right. I'm using FrontPage 2003. Please
help.
I'm
out of ideas to fix it.
