I have a bit of a problem that is creating a huge headache. For some reason the site I am developing is in visual order on my computer screen - the pictures are where they are supposed to be and the text is as wide as it should be. But when viewing on my coworkers computers - whose screens are smaller than mine, the gifs are way left and the text blocks are narrow.
What have I done to cause this? Anyone have any solutions?

(Please keep in mind that I am still cleaning up and editing....)
Thank you for considering this!

How about putting your code in? Or a link to it?

You've used absolute positioning for your span tags, which has resulted in your truck.gif always being xxx pixels from the left side of the screen. Different Screen resolutions have different numbers of pixels, so it's moving about.


You could try putting your page in a table, which would give you absolute control and enable you to put images on the right hand side without the text running over them.

There's probably a CSS to this, something like setting page margins to 100px and having two absolutely positioned divs on the right and left.

You're code is kind of confusing, but wouldn't you be better taking out all the font tags and using a CSS to specify all the fonts? I can send you an example CSS if you like.

You can put all the gifs on the right column in a single div and float it to the right. That way, it will always be to the right end of the screen, no matter what the screen size and resolution is.

Just out of interest, what's the code for stopping the text running over from the body and overlapping the div? I can't get mine to stop overlapping...
