Oh, one other tip, while you look a the sites that have thin lines....and
you want to see how that table is set up while in design view,

Set the CellSpacing and Cellpadding to large values while you are working
with it,

like anywhere between 5 and 20

after you can see what's going on...switch them back both to 0

First, the main banner is TOO wide....900 pixels is going to do that to
you.

Second, you have to break your banner into different sections via a table.
a. the 2 people can be one cell(this needs to be smaller)
b. the name, "the Wings Foundation, Inc. can be another (that needs to be
a
lot smaller as well)
c. the red /blue strip can be another cell that works with the 2 people

THIRD, you have to set up your pages with tables that allow for variable
widths,

Fourth, check out the example web sites here that allow for web page to
automatically adjust for the browser width.

This is a somewhat more than you asked for, but you can download the site
for FREE and see the code yourself and how the pages auto adjust.

I have had several people comment that my site
is just too wide and they have to scroll left and right
to see the whole page.

My question is how do I avoid doing this in the future
when building HTML pages ???

Also, can I EASILY resize the pages that I've already
built so that they easily fit into any browser or screen
regardless of the screen size ??? If so , How ???

Thanks....I really need to find this out asap !
P.S. I'm using DW 3....."the old school."

Thanks gang....and if you want to take a look at my site
to see what I mean its:

GRACIAS IN ADVANCE !
Jay in Dallas
