Ive been working on a new layout for my website for a while now and have finally, after months of creating and deleting, have made the perfect design/layout. I have set out a basic code for it and am slicing the layout according to the code so it will work perfectly. But I've got a small problem, for some reason no matter what I do or try I just can't seem to get the header to look like it should. I have sliced the header to look a certain way because part of it is a .gif image due to it being an animation and the rest are .jpg images cause of the better quality. Im just trying to get the images placed properly and looking like they should but they wont.
Here is the code:
Just look at this in your FireFox browser (I hate IE and do not code accoring to it EVER) and can you see whats going on with the header. I need to get a top image of 800px, and then an image below it to the left, and an image in the center, and another image to the very right of this image(3 images in all adding upto 800px underneath the very top image), and an image underneath all the other images of 800px.
For some reason I can't get the 3 images in the middle to align properly and "stick" together so they look like one image. I can't figure out what went wrong with the coding, ive tried changing big things and little things both....but so far nothing has worked. I seriously need some expert help on this subject so thats why Im asking here. Please help me figure this out so I can finally take my site off of hiatus .
Oh P.S.
No I won't think about re-coding my site in CSS. It sounds great and all, but really I havnt even gotten the hang of HTML yet, jumping on the CSS train isnt the smartest thing to do. Maybe someday, far away, when hovercars take over the freeways, I'll code all of my pages in CSS. But for now, Im pretty much sticking with Tables....every browser understands em, and they look perdy too.....but when its time to convert....I hope you CSS experts won't mind when I come running for some serious help .
