a Webpage problem

It is not finished but i just cant get the two frames on the home page
to align with each other ,........ the photos bit and the header bit.
Any ideas? html confuses me ;-) but as i say its not finished yet.

I think it is to do with frames. I never could get the content lined
up as I wanted using them.
Even at 1024x768 I have to scroll right to see the thumbnails.

BTW, some if not all of your links point to your My Documents. :-(

What software are you using to create your web page if any? Sometimes
it is better to put objects into individual frames. That way, one can
move images around independently without affecting the alignment of
other objects on the same page. I had a look at your HTML code (right
click/view page source (or view source) and viewed the HTML code. You
can see that some elements are aligned LEFT. Changing these to CENTRE
might help. You can always revert them back if things do not work out.
You will have to do this on your local drive though, and view them in
your browser to view the changes. If OK, save the changes and upload
again.

I am only a novice, but this might help.

Possibly the best way to avoid getting confused by HTML, is to write it
yourself, rather than letting a WYSIVWYG (V=vaguely) editor put a load of
extraneous mark-up in. Always specify widths and positions in percentages
rather than pixels, that way the elements generally keep ther relative
positions whatever the size of the window, or the size of the font. (I know
pmj mentioned that you can't control window size; you can't control font
size either - the user gets to choose both (and the colour scheme, if she
really wants to).

Looking at the code source;

The fifth, seventh and eighth non-blank lines in the main frame are

First thing is to try to get away from (try to get out of your mind)
the idea that any Web Page will be Viewed on any Particular *Screen*
Size!!!

You (as the Web Page Designer) have no Control whatsoever over the
*Sreen* Size (resolution) that anybody might be using to View it.
Also, you can't Control the *Browser* Window Size either (which is
actually what matters, not the *Screen* Size.

So, you need to allow for those facts & design Pages that *aren't*
dependent on Lining things up by Pixels.

You will *never* be able to get a Page that looks as you expect
or intend in all Browsers, (or on different Machine, with different
Settings) so it's far better to Design it to *allow* for that...
(not using precise, Pixel measuremnts) - Design it so that it sort
of "Flows, "Fluidly" with *Relative* Positioning, not Absolute
Positioning.

Yes, that prolly needs a whole rethink, but it *can* be done...
Using the Techniques of mid 1990's type Web Design (when there were
only a few different Browsers in use & Screen/Window Sizes were smaller
& more uniform) really doesn't work in todays situations.

Totally agree i was only saying what *I* was seeing it in :-)

pmj...

That should be perfectly possible - bung the "Old Grizzly's Web Page"
Picture (BTW - it's not actually a *Dialog Box*!) into a

& Centre it (the Pic) in the

& on the Page (but see below)...

Old Grizzly...

Yes i do know its not a dialog box but at the time of posting thats the
best i could come up with ;-)

pmj...

LOL!

I wasn't trying to be "picky" - I was just trying to establish what
was what, so we could make sure we were talking about the relevant
parts of the Page - & also *if* you did actually think of it as a
"Dialog Box", then that may mean you were expecting different thinsg
from it, than were actually possible.

The nearest you can get to a "Dialog Box" in Web Pages & HTML
is a

Tag, with the various Elements, such as
