Lads,

I know this might sound stupid and is probably quiet basic but what do I use to keep my images in a fixed position so that they do not move when the browser window gets made smaller? Any help is appriciated.

Cheers

Are your images in a table?

if so it sounds like some of your table settings are not fixed value.

If you use percentages then the images will move withing the cells.

The images aren't in a table. If I put them in a table using % values I should be sorted?
Cheers.

P.S. Lads is just a general term I use for everybody! No offence intended!

None taken (welcome to Webmasterworld BTW :) )

If I put them in a table using % values I should be sorted?

Quite the opposite - tables set with a % will resize to fill the page. You want to fix the dimensions to ensure there is no movement.

If you are not using tables it sounds like the text is 'rolling' as the browser resizes moving the image dwon the page.

If that is the case then why would you want to stop this?

You could fix the image in a <div>?

are you using a WYSIWYG editor?

i'm just using notepad.
I have four images together. two alongside each other and two underneath. They are links to different areas o the website. It's a website for assistive technology so the images have to be quiet big. I think I have it sorted just using a table.
Thanks for the help.
