Topic: div/ layers

I had a small concern... about these div/ layer tags.

Well the way i have my webpage setup, it is centre aligned. And on the left side of my table, i placed a div/ layer tag in there. To act as a news component, where users can get latest updates.

But that is not the concern, the thing is i put the settings for users at 800x600. Now if i increase my resolution, the div tag bounces to the side horizontally. And i dont want that. Is there any alternitives or a way to fix the prob.

I know why it does it......i just can't align the webpage to the left. so any suggestions ppl...........

Just so id mention. In that div tag, ive got a php include that links to a file. But when i print my webpage, the info in that div tag. Prints on top of my webpage. Can that be fixed as well.....

Pleas show some code or an link...

Well.....for starters......there's no such thing as a "div/layer tag".

Is it a <div>? Or is it a <layer>?

Can it be fixed? Certainly. But it depends on a whole lot of variables. We need to see the page and understand a lot mroe before we can even guess at what the specific problem is.

One part of the problem is that you're using tables for layout - bad way to start. Another problem is in thinking that there needs to be a table cell with a div inside it - doubling up and nesting elements is always a bd thing when it can be avoided.

sorry people.....i had to digup my files. but here is the link
