Alignment problems at differant resolutions!

[Stickymaster]

Hi all, I am currently redesigning my site and I have managed to create the look that I want, at 800x600 resolution the design looks great in Internet Explorer 5.5 Netscape 6 and Netscape 4.75, however when I view it in higher resolutions it has a slight alignment problem in all 3 browsers.

I have been on for days trying to sort it out. This is really starting to bug me as I would like to press ahead with the redesign but I can't until it works in all modern browsers and at all resolutions.

Can someone please have a look at it just to point out what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix it. I spent absolutely ages getting it to work in the above mentioned browsers and I feel like crying when I see alignement problems at differant resolutions. I have included the a demo in my profile.

Any pointers, advice would be very much appreciated.

Web design eh!

AHR...why cant' there be one browser and one resolution - it would make my job a lot easier :)

Cheers,

Stickymaster.

Yes, one browser, one resolution would be nice. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's the whole site or just the index page that you're asking about. It looks great to me on W2K, 1024x768, Mozilla, if that's any help. What kind of alignment problems are you having?

Just stickymail me the code or the URL and I'll have a look at it. To me it sounds like you haven't limited the page width, hence, when you view the page in a higher resolution, the content adjusts itself to fit.

Wouldn't matter anyway, since the user can always size the browser to take up only part of the available screen. Anyway, a great tool is

BrowserSizer.

I think the company is called "ApplyThis" or something like that and the tool is free. It doesn't force users into the resolution you want ;), but at least it helps simulate other screen sizes quickly and easily.

Argh, why can't everyone just do what I tell them to do! Everything would be a whole lot better then!

As for your question, a question.

Is your problem the little disparity you are having between the horizontal "welcome to stickysauce" bar and the columnar content beneath it?

If this is the problem, I think it is because your percentages are asymmetrical. I can go into more detail if this is the case.

If this is not the problem, then what is? I don't see anything else that jumps out at me.

One suggestion: simplify your table structure a bit. It's nested table hell in there.

Hi guys, sorry for not replying to your responses sooner, soon after I posted this my ISP went down.

Anyway I am really gratful for the replys.

*pat_s* The alignment problems are when I change my resolution to higher than 800x600 - it's only minute alignment problems but I'm sadly a perfectionist and must have it working in all modern browsers at all resolutions.

*DrDoc* Thanks for your kind offer - I have sticky mailed you :}

*ergophobe* I didn't know that there is a tool for browser resizing - they think of everything.

*moonbiter* I'm trying to sort that nested table hell - the only thing is it's hell trying to do it.

Anyway thanks for your responses guys, everytime I have had a problem or a question to ask, the members of this site have always been really helpfull. The name webmasterworld sure is apt. Keep up the good work all.

Cheers,

Stickymaster
