i followed Kirupa’s photo gallery tutorial but im having a slight problem. the first step is to create a rectangle to the size of the images that i am loading. the problem is when i go thru the rest of the steps and preview in IE the photos do not load where the rectangle is placed. the images load off to the side on the right instead of where the rectangle is. SOMEBODY help! its getting me frustrated. thanks
heres my coding.
