Ooooh boy was I in over my head taking a web design class.  

My first problem (of many to come I'm sure): My layout shifts from one page to another. Like if I'm on the home page and click my feedback, all the navigation buttons will move over to the right. I'm using a layout with tables.  

Is there any way to make sure the layout stays still from page to page using an external style sheet with CSS?

If not how CAN I fix this?

EDIT: I found out what I did wrong, stupid little error. FIXED.

Well make sure in your external style sheet you have the layout alignment specified (left, center, or right)

I don't really understand the exact problem until I can see it myself though.

I don't have anything in my external sheet other than background color, how do I specify the layout there? Here's what I mean by the "shifting":

I want things to stay still from page to page.

For anyone wanting to become a soldier, Basic Combat Training is the hardest thing you will most likely have to go through during your journey in the Army. Heading to BCT (Basic Combat Training) is such a huge unknown for many people, but it's no surprise that it will be tough and challenging in almost every aspect. The goal of BCT is to tear you down and build you back up to become a soldier. Preparation before you go in is the best thing you could possibly do to increase your success, and not have this experience be such an unknown frightening mystery.  



Basic Combat Training Site Hub


I have come across an abundance of web sites, each solving the mystery piece by piece, or should I say site by site. With all the great sites, it can actual become overwhelming and stressful! I ended up clicking and taking in the information on one page thinking I was ready to take on the challenge, only to find another site with a bunch of new information. Here I've gathered all of the best sites to be found in one place, as well as advise and comments I have received from soldiers and recruiters, making sure that all of the most helpful information available, you know before going in.

It was either tables or frames for this class, and from my understanding tables are the lesser of the two evils.
