HELP! Layout problem

[mankxman]

Check out www.tomashworth.co.uk. Look at the text box on the left. It is closer to the left border that the the right text box is to the right border. In Dreamweaver MX 2004, how can I make them equal to the pixel? Please help!!

man that is alot of very very messy code. you are using far too many tables in there. you would be best served by actually using div tags and laying them out in a css format. that way you can give them absolute positions and widths. i would suggest cleanig that up a bit and getting rid of some of those tables in there. just at first glance i could 9 tables i think.

That's is exactly why you don't use tables: http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/index.html

For the love of God man. :imho: You need to use DIV instead. Tables are messy and they wern't designed to display data like that. They were designed only for tublar data not to design your web pages. The site looks neat, but even that little page took a very long time to download on my dial-up connection. I would put money on it being because of all those tables.

cool. thankx guys. ive only ever been on broadband, or at least i dont remember being on dial up. ill try using <div>.

Using DIV would be great! After you see how easy it is, you'll never go back to tables again. It can be a little hard to learn from the start, but after a while you start to get the hang of it.
