I have problems when i enter content into my site, the nav bar on the left gets out of shape.
I realize the navigation and the content area need to be within the same table. My graphic needs to be in it's own table though so i can place a cell in there for the text links. Sorry if this is a dumb question but i'd be greatfull if someone could take a look and offer some help. Thanks.
 
?? bottomcorner.jpg cant even find it in your source Live long and make your kids suffer..
 
I think they are referring to lwrbar.jpg.

<td valign=&quot;top&quot; height=&quot;19&quot;>
<table width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; background=&quot;lwrbar.jpg&quot;>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;610&quot; height=&quot;19&quot;></td>

To begin with I would remove the height, it is unecessary.
Your site has real problems in Netscape (both flavors), it works okay in Opera 6.1. The images that you have set as backgrounds are the culprit, NN does not handle that gracefully.

Rather than doing this all in tables, have you thought of using layers? I think it would give you more control that way. In IE5 & 6, it looks good now, what res are you viewing when you getthe problem you are referring to? When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
 
Sorry to take so long to reply, been busy. Cheech, i actually removed that bottomcorner graphic, the quickest remedy. Thanks for the advice viol8ion. The only reason i used placed the images as backgrounds was so i can place a text table on top for links. I've been trying to avoid using layers. My last experience was not good. Netscape was positioning them differently to IE and just really screwing things up. Perhaps there is a technique i don't know about? I'd love to be able to use layers, it'd be great if anyone had a solution to placing them correctly in both browsers.
