I've this code in my header

and as you can see if you click on one of the buttons the page does not align all the way to the right or to the bottom. Now if u click refresh it will align all the way to the right and bottom. How can I fix this? I've access to php on this project. Could I just do an auto refresh as soon as the page loads?

p.s. It loads fine when the page is opend in a new window so you will need to click one of the buttons to see what i'm talking about.

HMMMM....I have no idea why the borders are changing when you refresh the page.

Try adding rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" to your body tag and see if that stops it.

Or you could do this:

what browser are you finding this fault in?

IE5 displayed fine.
Opera6 (as opera6) has alignment problems, but not margin faults, so netscape would have similar problems and no flash navigation

just a note on the CSS option, its not fully supported but version 4 browsers

Busy, I am looking at it on IE 6.0 and I see what what venom is taking about. The first image is when you open a new page and the second is after it is refreshed. I guess it could be an alignment problem but what would make it change after refreshing the page?

I had a look at your code, seems ok apart from a few missed width, height and alt tags in images. you also need to use a lighter color for your bgcolor tag, dark brown is to weird, also try keep to web safe colors.

I think the biggest problem is missing width and height tags, the main header section for example, you have :

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111"
width="100%" id="AutoNumber2">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top"><img border="0"
src="images/banL.jpg"></td>
</tr>
</table>
'this table tag and td cell shouldnt be 100%, it should be a fixed width, set to the width of the image, the image should also have the same width, height tags, plus the alt tag. if you have it set so the image changes, leave the table size blank but included the images dimensions.

the flash wont display in NS or Opera and alignment in NS and opera is the same - messy, adjust your table and td cells to suit its content, even thou you have nested tables only a few need the width of 100% (main table and the cells that expand).
