When I place things on my webpage in the PAGE view, then go to “Preview in Browser”, sometimes graphics are not where i placed them. Why is this? Sometimes, they shift slightly.
E-mail any advice
Thanks
Patrick

Hey pcarlson,
Usually that problem occurs when you place graphics inside tables. If you have blank cell in your table, browsers have the tendency to ignore that cell completely and shift all the cells to accomodate for that empty space. If you have an emtpy cell, simply add a space inside it with your spacebar. You won’t see anything (it’s only a space after all!) but the browser might recognize that cell’s existence.

thanks…and yes it usually happens with graphics and tables. So, I’ll give it a try.
