web design question

You have two options: DHTML, which allows you to specify the pixel position of an element on the page, or a table. The latter would be my preference. You need to create a table with a width of 100% and a height of 100%. Then you need three rows and three columns, the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right cells containing your images. The remaining cells also need a width and height of 100% to make sure they become as large as they can to fill the window and push the cells containing the images to the edges of the window.

If you need the precise table code let me know.

Here is the code you need to do it with tables:




   
      
      
      
   
   
      
   
   
      
      
      
   

image		image
image		image

[EDIT]
- Removed left and right cells in the middle row.
- Added cellpadding and cellspacing tags to force images right to the edge of the table.
[/EDIT]

This is IMO the easiest way to do it. You obviously need to replace the word "image" with your actual images.

Yes that's true, but if you use DHTML to place the images precisely by pixel then when the window scrolls the images will scroll with it. I think using tables is a better solution, and then put an IFRAME in the center cell for the page content. That way the content can scroll without affecting the positioning of the images.

For some reason the height property of the center cell is not working in your code. Check your source against the example I posted, and if necessary re-paste the code in to yours. Check that works, then add things one a time and keep checking so if it breaks, you'll know why.

The problem is with the stuff above the tag. I just pasted the source in to a new file and had the same problem. I then removed everything above the body tag and it worked.

Specifically, it is this line:

   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


Remove that and it works.

Frameset is probably my best bet.

... or just remove that line.

No problem :-D Just tested in Safari and Firefox, and it works in both. No point checking in iBrowse since it doesn't support IFrames :-(

Yeah, I saw that in the source code :-)
