table positioning problems
Hello-
i am having some problems with my html code.
1. i want the site to be viewable in 800 x 600 browsers. i have made the tables so that they are no larger than 800 pixels wide, but this hasn't resolved it.
2. i cannot, for the life of me, get a certain table to position how i would like it to. if you have time to look at the code- it is the table beginning with the code (district information).
sorry for this mess of code. if i have time i will publish so that it can be viewed with .css and all.
thanks for your reply.

First of all, to have it viewable at 800x600 without scroll, you'll have to move that table width down to somewhere around 750.
Secondly, you would probably find the use of a validator like htmlvalidator.com useful in tracking problems. It won't find all the weird idiosyncracies, but it should help.
For instance, you have illegal attribute values of "" for height in some places, and useless attribute values of "0" for height in tables.
How did you want that table positioned? You say you can't get it right, but I can't tell from your code where "right" is intended to be.

A link would be helpful.
You may want to look at this page if you are using "The Ultimate DropDown Menu". http://www.brothercake.com/dropdown/install.html
I believe that you need to take the script out of the first table and put it at the very end of the page, right before the tag. It says this on the link that I gave you above. You can get rid of the first two tables in your code.
This was a quickie but copy this code EXACTLY to another test page and see if it fixes your problem. If it does, I will tell you what I changed. OR you can wait for someone else that may can fix it better.

In case you didn't know what I meant.

I think that looks really nice so far.
