I have been unable to solve this problem

A table on a page of our website displays fine in Windows XP, but incorrectly in VISTA using Firefox
With the latest version of Firefox using VISTA the text is to the right of where it should be. To the right of everything else on the page.

Here is the page: http://www.carolinatesol.org/Conferences/fall07/announcement.htm

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks
Amy

San Francisco, CA and the web

Hi Amy--

I have XP and in Firefox & IE t looks like the lower white box is over to the right. Have you changed anything since you posted or maybe the problem isn't limited to just Vista.

Cartesol, there has been a complete shift in web design to move away from table based layouts. CSS is now the primary method for organizing your page layout.

With that being said. A solution would be to place your top banner (logo2.jpg) inside the first row in your table.

Right now, your have the image down in your Google Analytics tracking code:

Change it and put it here:

 


   


   


   


  

I don't think the "code" elements are causing it to display right in this forum... it should display the code!

Drats. That didn't solve it.

Do you have other ideas of what I might do?

I did take an online course on CSS but still don't have the ability to do layout with CSS. I am pretty much just a self-taught volunteer and have difficulties with complex things and am totally non-visual and get really confused when trying to do layouts. Maybe for the next conference I will try CSS layout. This conference is begins a week from Thursday so I don't really have time to experiment.

Note: I didn't realize the VISTA issue when I created it because I didn't have VISTA at the time.
I am pretty embarrassed as this week lots of people will be going to our site for last-minute registration. Luckily, not a lot of them have VISTA

I appreciate any other things you might suggest I try

If you email me the page in question I would be happy to take a look at it for you. I can probably fix it and email it back to you in a matter of minutes.

What a kind offer! I will see if I can send it. I really appreciate it. I have searched on the Internet for possible solutions but have come up blank (which lets me know the problem is likely me)

Hi Amy,

I am not forgetting about you. We are having major internet connectivity issues here at work today, so communicating and testing this is proving to be a chore.
