I am trying to built this website and have a four column table. My problem is that, on a 15" monitor my two images are in correct prosition. On my laptop, they are off set to the left. Why is this? The site is sammyholmes.com. Thanks.

It isn't really recommended to use background coloured text as spacers. That's what your problem is. You should consider setting up some tables to better align your page.

You've also got some HTML errors you might want to correct.

You really don't want to be using tables for layout. They bring up accessability, flexibility and SEO issues that you can just do without. You'll find things a lot easier if you use CSS (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/) for presentation and leave HTML for document structure.
