Dreamweavernewbie Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Hey everyone- I am helping my mom build her website but it is my first time using dreamweaver and I have ran into a couple issues I can’t figure out how to solve. First problem that I’m having is that when I change the size of the viewing window the images and text move out of their place. The second problem is that when I look at the site in safari and explorer, the site looks different. In explorer the text doesn’t wrap around the image and the background color is different among other things. The site is www.ameliabarili.com Any suggestion would be very welcomed. Thank you in advance Nick Quote
stevevan Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I'm not a dreamweaver user, but I can tell you that it is a good practice to view your site in different browsers to get a compromise. Due to the way different browsers do things "behind the scenes", your site will look differently (most notably in IE). Most people will use IE, Firefox, and maybe Opera to get the best compromise between the three. There will always be subtle differences...your job is to make the differences as subtle as possible. (Which is not always easy!) There are "how-to" sites on the 'net that can help. Just do a google search for "web design how-to's" and you'll come up with hundreds. Oh...and welcome to the forums!

TCH-Don Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Welcome to the forums and the family Nick. I am not seeing what you describe in IE or FireFox. On your menu, other pages than the home have a rollover effect with an underline but the home page this is not working and the menu text disappears when the mouse touches the the links. Also I see you are using the GIF format for your photos. GIF are not suited for photos as they only have 236 colors You really should use jpg for photos. With 50% compression jpg image will be smaller in file size, faster loading and look good. Hang in there I am sure DW users will be along soon to help you. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I just noticed that your images are being displayed at a smaller size than they are its best to size the images first at the size you need this will prevent the image from looking jagged. if you need an image program to convert or re size IrfanView is free.
