Is There A Better Way

05-29-2006

The http://www.taoofpeace.com/test/index.php home page displays correctly on
my page regardless if I view it with IE or a Mozilla browser on either my
laptop or my desktop (1024 x 76

. When I viewed this same page on my
client's LCD monitor the left navigation appears on the top of the page
until I do a manual refresh ... then it goes where it should.

I don't want to do this page with tables (yuk!) but would appreciate any
suggestions on another way to "Style" this page so the navigation appears
where it should ... every time.

.....here is the home page code

I get the same prob on my desktop IE (XP Sp2 1280x1024 Win) and my computer
speed is 3.8 gig (but I'm on dialup.) Your page validates, kudos, but
gives a nasty horizontal scrollbar in Firefox (though not IE). The only
thing I can say is some redesign is necessary. You _could_ try including
the css in the page itself (which is what I'd test,) but probably a shot in
the dark.

I doubt if tables are the real answer.

do you mean you would like to me to paste the css on this post?

I can't reproduce your problem, but if you would like to fix that nasty bottom
scrollbar.

change:
#largeLogo{
position:relative;
top:0px;
left:500px;
z-index:2;
}

to

#largeLogo img{
position:relative;
top:0px;
left:500px;
z-index:2;
}

No, I mean put it in the <head> section of the page itself. Maybe time-
loading plays a part?

interesting that after changing the LargeLogo div to LargeLogo img I can now
reproduce the issue ....

I have no ideal, I was not able to reproduce the problem, but it does take care
of that bottom scroll bar.
