Hey there,

I’ve had really great layout idea for a website, but I can’t get it to work as I wish.  
Basically, I want an swf movie to span over a table, it’s really hard to describe so i’ll link to how I want it to look in Photoshop…

The white part is the table and the pictures of the guys are the swf.

I tried to do this with a css layer, but it aligns to the bottom of the browser window, not at the bottom of the table.

I know I shouldn’t be using tables (can anyone link me to any good css layout tutorials?). Is there an easy solution to this?

Thanks,  
Tom
