He's using Dreamweaver and has gotten it to work in FireFox and Safari, though. Here are the following problems he's enountered: *his drop down menus, when you scroll over them, don't drop down, they're at the top of the screen *the text on his main page isn't centered, it's off to the right so that you have to scroll over *several of his other pages are the same way, only with the text centered -- you still gotta scroll even though there's nothing there *he has music playing on his front page but the plug-in stopped working about 20 minutes ago; instead of loading, it says there's an error and that it failed to initialize Does anyone have any idea what he could do to fix any of the above problems? I'd appreciate the advice.

Needs to change one of the values, so that they match. Majo Posted at 6:46 pm on April 15, 2008 Gah, I told him but I might have to fight him on that one. Quick question: Code: <table width="1008" border="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">  <tr>    <td width="1000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p align="center"><font color="#000000">2008 Mobilesonic. Clark County, WA, USA. All information on this page subject to change. </font></p>      <p align="center"><font color="#000000">Music provided by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/xetahexmusic";><font color="#000000">Xetahex</font></a>. Track name: "404." Click below to play/stop</font></p></td> On his pricing page there's a split between the text and the copyright info at the bottom. I kind of think the bottom bit is a slice skinnier than the top bit. He doesn't seem to think so but I was wondering...the table is set to 1008...<td width>...that's the cell, right? Should it really be set to 1000 or am I imagining that the bottom half is slightly skinnier? allsmiles Posted at 4:12 pm on April 15, 2008 I have a fleeting suspicion that the width of the <EMBED /> is what causes it to stretch like that. Remove it completely from the width of the layout (forcing it to 1008px anyway is poor design) and give it its own column and playbox, or something. Majo Posted at 12:32 pm on April 15, 2008 Okay, he did what was on that page but it's still all stretched out. Majo Posted at 4:27 pm on April 14, 2008 Alright, thanks, I'll have him start there and see what happens. allsmiles Posted at 4:23 pm on April 14, 2008 Not necessarily just, but those will help. Should also increase the loading speed. Majo Posted at 4:09 pm on April 14, 2008 So he just needs to do/fix what's listed on that page you linked me to? allsmiles Posted at 3:33 pm on April 14, 2008 First step, sort these out. The music player at the bottom of the page seems to be a big part of the problem. Majo Posted at 2:54 pm on April 13, 2008 Here it is. allsmiles Posted at 1:34 pm on April 13, 2008 Perhaps you could post a link to the site? Majo Posted at 7:06 pm on April 12, 2008 How do I post the code? I tried but it was too long. Majo Posted at 4:20 am on April 11, 2008 Alright, thank you, I'll tell him when I get to talk to him again. allsmiles Posted at 3:43 am on April 11, 2008 We can't do anything to help without seeing the underlying code.
