Tables, layers and 1024 x 768 displays

[Roger Sherwin]

On the page at the following link
http://www.beacon77.freeserve.co.uk/spider/history.htm
I only have a 800 x 600 display and use ie5.5 - on the above page it works beautifully on my display but on my daughters screen the tables are centered but the layers are all over to the left
Is it possible to center layers so that they work on all sized displays???
The menu is centered on my screen but when i viewed it on her screen it was about 5 pixels to the left and overwriting the lefthand border of the table

Any ideas for a quick fix????????

There's a quite a few methods, the easiest are probably:
1. calculate the screen width, and position the elements accordingly, catching the resize events to reposition them.
2. absolute position everything and catch the resize event to reposition all the elements.
3. put the elements in one of the table cells - I did that here[/url:8r461vscsz] (the site design's not mine though)

thanks for your reply

I'll try option 3 as I am not a programmer and don't think I could cope with the first two options

Failing that I'll have to stick to 800 x 600 and have two versions of the site as my old site works on both sized displays
