Sandra, it doesn't matter what settings I have my monitor set to,
and I've gone from 800x600 pixels to 1600x1200, the 5 and 0 are
stacked one above the other. That's in Firefox.

Thanks Mike. Do the top/bottom and side edges of the centre line up
OK in Firefox? I'm learning from all this.


As per, I am straw clutching, but I think it may be down to sums!

I looked at the source of the page and I 'think' it may be something to
do with this bit

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%">
<tr>
<td width="34%"><img border="0" src="hrtleft.gif" width="62"
height="62"></td>

<td width="33%"><embed width="80" height="95"
src="shine5.dcr"><embed width="80" height="95" src="shine0.dcr"></td>
</center>


<td width="33%"><p align="right"><img border="0" src="hrtright.gif"
width="62" height="61"></td>

</tr>

</table>

Right, you have split the table row into 3 equal parts, one gif in the
first bit, then two .dcrs in the next ( which are the two you are having
trouble with) and one gif in the third.

From what was specified before that, you are doing this in a table that is
750 pixels wide,

inside that is another table which is specified as 95% of the available
width
i.e. 95% of 750 = 713 ( I aint bothering with halves of pixels!)

and within that one is a final table , specified as 50% of the available
width..so now its 50% of 713 = 356

So when you get to splitting that up into 3, you have 356 divided by 3 =
118

first cell is 118 pixels, gif is 62 wide, it fits
third cell is 118 pixels, gif is 62 wide, it fits

second cell is 118 pixels, it has 2 .dcrs in at 80 pixels wide for each =
160 - they dont fit!

Well IE must be somehow jiggling it a bit and letting us see them as if
they fit, but it looks like Firefox isn't ? We are always being told that
IE is 'forgiving'


Try splitting that table row into four rather than three, and having the
5 and the 0 in separate table data cells?

356 divided by 4 = 89, wide enough to put an 80pixel wide thing in?

or even not specifying the width of the cells at all? I dunno

Don't know if that will solve it, but its worth a try, I don't think its
anything to do with the file type or the fact its embedded, but hey! I am
just a numpty , lol what would I know?
