List, I’m trying to get my FreePage up and running, but my knowledge of HTML and CSS is very limited. The URL is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ryderancestors/ In IE8, the table of Rider/Ryder pictures and captions displays as I want it to be (and as it is in SharePoint Designer, which I used to create it), but in Firefox 3, it looks much different. Those are the only browsers I have installed. I don’t know what I need to do to make the display the same in both. Thanks, David

Whats wrong with http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ryderancestors/rider_ryder_ancestors/rider_ryder_pics.html under Firefox, except for the blinding blue! Displays in an acceptable format for me under Firefox. OK loaded in IE and pictures are in a column on right with text centred in column on left. Under Firefox and Safari pictures are on left with text in the row above and centred. I am not sure what you have wrong but I would just be using <td> and <tr> instead of the class stuff as seems simpler to me. I would also left justify all the text instead of centering. Such as on http://www.iansinger.com/family/pix1/pix1.htm where I define 4 columns vs your two.

David, In IE7, your page shows a double-bordered Table, and 2 columns wide. The table background is a dark "sky blue" or something. Against the light yellow, that blue is very hard on the eyes. It leaves a remnant effect in the eyes (at least in mine!) even after the page is closed. But interestingly, there's no viewable "table" in Google Chrome (so the blue is good). Instead, it has a simple link-text with a "button" under the link. It is missing all of column 2 with the images. The page has a pale yellow background. Not sure why it's so different but that's what I see.

Thanks, David ------------------------------- ============== OK to start with you need to use a graphics program to resize your images rather than specifying the size in the html or style sheet. You can use the auto thumbnail feature but then you need to optimize the code to get rid of the extra lines of text SharePoint Designer will add. The heading tags should not be used to style text but to create your layout structure then styled using your style sheet. You can read more about heading tags here http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/heading-tags.html Done really quickly but it will give you an idea of what you can do http://www.css-layouts.org/rider/rider_ryder_pics.html The links don't work. Changed the css to .ryderpics { margin: 0px auto; border: thin #0000FF solid; padding: 2px; background-color: #00FFFF; width: 70%; } .ryderpics td{border: thin #0000FF solid; padding: 2px; } .pics { text-align: center; } More later. pat

I suggest using the following site: http://browsershots.org/ You can enter the url of your page you would like to test, and select which browsers and OS's to check on how you page will look to various people. Quite handy. Byron S.
