So, are you going with the tabled version you have now. Or do you want me to send you the code for the CSS version I was showing you above?

I think I know what to do. THe only problem Ive seen so far is that it looks slightly different in firefox. The bottom of the top banner is everso slightly cut off, why is this?

Because different browsers render slightly differently. I checked it in FF on Mac, Safari on Mac, and Internet Explorer on PC. I assume you are seeing the cut on FF on PC? You can go to the freeman.css file and nudge the .flashviewer down a few more pixels. It's the "top" property.

Yeah, like Super Chicken. lol


Edit: Shadowness: Yeah, that slight cut off is only on FF for PC(I'm on the PC side now) so just nudge the .flashviewer down a few more pixels with the "top" property. Also, notice that I moved all your css properties into the freeman.css file.

Oh, another thing, you need give your large pics a width of 809px because the the flash viewer you are using resizes itself according to the pic.

Looks good here on FF on Mac. So, disregard what I was saying in the edit because it looks like you figured it out.

I think its ok. The images themselves are 770px width, and the viewer adds a 20px border around the edge. SO I set the maximum image size to be 810px, and it seems to be ok.
It looked horrible at 770px wide, as when they are resized the pics loose a bit of sharpness images/smilies/smile.gif

Another question! When I tried to move the menu banner slightly to the right, it cropped it out, why is this and how do I stop it?

That's because the flash viewer has some white space around it. So, when you moved the banner you layered the banner under the flash viewer.

I'm using XP (set to classic display) IE6.0 (C'mon I am at work!) and I am getting scroll bars along the bottom and side - was this intended? Display is set to 1024 x 768.

Logging off and going home now. I will give it a go in FF and IE on my vista and XP machines at home. Let you know what I get.

Because I chopped off the white space at the top. LOL

Edit: To get rid of the scroll bars we will have to set a min monitor resolution you don't want the scroll bars to appear in and build for that minimum resolution.

Edit Again: Shadowness try this revised CSS file to see if it helps with the scroll bars the others are getting

Thanks again! Ive updated it, I cant notice any difference, but thats because I never had scroll bars initially. If anyone has them, or any other issues please inform me images/smilies/smile.gif
