picture question

hi! got another question, i made a page in frontpage. there is a big paragraph and underneath the big paragraph i placed 2 pictures of what i described. the pics are different sizes, and they are horizontal in a row. if i am full screen the pics line up fine if i make the page not full screen the pics get wierdly positioned. the same happens if i drop resolution as well. what in the wide world of sports is going on? also if i make a web page is there a standard resolution that i should do it in?
ps i'm a rookie at all this so go easy on me!!!

thanks

Hi,

what happens is that, the pictures are wider than the screen is at 800*600, so the page tries to "squeez" it to fit, and this normally results in one picture being put underneath the other one.

Are the pictures in a table row?

I would say a good bet to design in these days is about 1024*whatever, it used to be 800*600, but I am sure the Dude will be of more assistance here.

it sounds like you are right, however i have no idea what you mean by "table" i just wrote the paragraph and inserted the pictures. if by table you mean like and excel sheet or something like that, then no. i am a complete rookie, so green behind the ears its sick. any help/hints you can give me would be nice. i just figured there was something i had to tell the html code to place this picture here no matter resolution or screen size.......

Thanks!

Hi,

you can still scale down the proportion of the pictures if you want to, you can force it to go to a specific size, by stating it in the img tag



this will strech or shrink the image to fit in that size.

i must be soemthing wrong, i can't make it work. in frontpage if i click on the picture, then go to the html tab it has the section highlighted for you.here is my code:
<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape
id="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:156pt;height:121.5pt'>
<v:imagedata src="PLCProgram_files/image002.jpg" o:title="G64G96%20Bus%20-%20Backplane"/>
<o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="f"/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=208 height=162
src="PLCProgram_files/image003.jpg" v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"><![endif]>

i changed "img border=0 width=208 height=162" to 100 by 50 and it still did it. also what or why in this section, it says image002.jpg and image003.jpg when i only selected 1 picture. the tittle of the picture is: G64G96%20Bus%20-%20Backplane as it says above. the picture dimensions matched image003.jpg and that was how i made the determination that i should change that one.........

i hope you can help!
also thank you so much for helping or trying to help!!

Post All your Frontpage generated code for this page. If it is too big, upload it as text file.

that code you posted is not html... consider writing your own code using Notepad for example and then we would be able to help further, without... Things... like Frontpage ruining the code.

Might I suggest to put the pictures within your descriptions?
ex:

Sorry, that came out weird. I hope you got the idea. If you need help with coding that, let me know.

man, thanks everybody for your help and suggestions, thats so cool!!! i think i really have no idea what i am doing and i need to figure it out. i am going to try to learn something. Lewy i will post my code for you. Shadow Wizard, hehe, i guess i will not use frontpage anymore. Baseballdude, i understand what you mean, thanks for the tips. i actually agree with you. i will try everything you all suggested and hopefully, you all could check back on this post so i can ask you more question!!

what programs do you all use to write webpages with?
any good beginner/learning site you all recommend?

thanks again

I use only Notepad for web pages. its greatest advantage is that it's not messing with my code and I know exactly what I'm doing without messing around with fancy code I never intended to have.

Ditto. Find a host that allows FTP and edit with Notepad. It works the best (in my opinion).

The BEST site I've come across for learning any coding is http://www.w3schools.com. It helps great...I wish I'd have known about it when I started instead of teaching HTML to myself.
