I have a website. www.hebgifted.com (http://www.hebgifted.com) and I have many issues with it formatting across different browsers and computer resolutions. Attached is how it "should" look. First of all, do you think the overall formatting to begin with, needs to be recoded? Then, the main thing that makes this so difficult is that it is supposed to be stretchable, with limitations. It can't get so small that it covers something up, and when it gets bigger, the area with the six subsections (What's Hot, HEBISD,etc.) is supposed to center between the upcoming events section and the left side of the screen. If you notice, on your browser, I honestly doubt it looks the same. Any comments on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis

Yes it needs to be recoded without any tables. The menus are lists of links. The main content could be divs containing headings and paragraphs. The upcoming events probably could be definition lists but the thing at the top is NOT a styled paragraph, it is a HEADING.
I like the design but the realization is way off.

Go non-table, make <ul> for lists, and:
line 4 column 1 - Warning: <body> isn't allowed in <head> elements
(no closing "</head>" found).
Some absolute (??) position could be changed. Site looks good on 1024-width, but manually size-down and the right-hand 'tan' section/s occlude the middle text/content section with NO scrollbars or any way to access this now-hidden content. :eek: No scrollbars appear until you get down around ~200-width and still, the center content is 'hidden' mostly.
Fixable of course.
There's really not that much wrong here, -a few hours' worth of tweaking maybe could repair this.
