HTML Question

[Damian]

Gotta quick question.

In Internet Explorer, if the favorites or search menus are activated, IE will "cutoff" the right margin of the page you're viewing. On my site, it may affect how pictures/text in tables are displayed.

Is there some sort of HTML command or code that I can put on my pages that will let the viewer scroll to the right of the page (therefore displaying the page as it was laid out) instead of letting IE cut it off?

Thanks,

Hello,

Even though I use Netscape, I brought up IE to check out
your page. It seemed to work fine for me (no scroll bar
needed) even with the search/favorites menu up. Interesting
site by the way.


As far as "I" know, there isn't any quick HTML code you
can use to force the scolling. It's pretty much up to
the browser to determine whether it needs a scroll bar or
not.

an example of what I meant..on the front page is a picture of myself and my associate...with the search or favorites menus enabled the picture is partially blocking the earth graphic...with the menus diabled...my pic is between the earth and moon (the way its supposed to be)...

thanks for the comment about my site...i didn't want to post the url in the open b/c it's kinda rough when it comes to content...hope you weren't offended.

you can put everything in a table and make the table width in pixels : 800 or 1024 or depending on your site best resolution :)

I just pulled your page up in IE again and I see what you're
talking about. I also took a look at your code and it looks
interesting. What program are you using to generate the
code or design the web page in?

I would suggest centering one table and placing your
backdrop in it. Then either add another table or cell
within the first table and place your "people" picture
inside it.

Since everything is centered, the browser should keep
everything aligned for you.
