I have a table with PDF icons in one of the columun cells. everything is alined except the icons. This only happens with other computers. It's been reported to me happening with computers runing all types of browsers and operating systems. www.lcrimrattlers.org/maps.html

Hi. I had a look at your page. It did display somewhat properly in I.E., but was a total mess in Netscape.
I looked into the code for the page....yikes.
It looks like you may have used a combination of several different programs to edit your site, including CC html editor and visual site designer, or mayby at least back and forth from the visual tab and html editor. Hey, I could be wrong on that, but it's what it looks like.
The end result is that the code for the page is a mess. Sorry if I'm being blunt. Let me follow this up with a short piece of your code as an example:
If you look at that short piece of code, the only text you are trying to display is: NDAS(Western part of the Dona Ana Mountains). In order to display that code, you have used SIX <font> tags, and one <strong> tag. You have use font size 2, 3, and 4. This happens so often in your code. It only takes one unclosed </font> tag somewhere in the code to confuse the web browser.
I.E. is going into "quirks mode", to take a guess at how you want your page displayed, and it is doing a fantanstic job of guessing and displaying your page as you intended it. Other web browsers are less forgiving, and are showing you what you have coded.
You have tables galore, and are using them to help position your content, but then you keep using "z-index" and "absolute positioning" to position your content. This is conflicting with the table structure, and the poor browser gets lost with the conflicts.
My advice.....and please don't feel you have to follow it......Start over. Keep what you have, don't delete it or anything....just start new pages in a different folder. Choose to either use tables or absolute positioning, but not necessarily both to format your page. Keep the <font> tags to a minimum. Don't specify 2,3 or more font sized for the same text.
I say start over because it's sometimes easier to do that than it is to try to fix code that just doesn't work. Sorry for the bad news.....Like I said, feel free to ignore my advice. Maybe someone else will have a quick fix and some better news for you and your website.

Awsome advise. I am as you could tell not experience with HTML. I was having a problem with moving objects so i started to place them in text boxes!! opps. I later figured it out but never came back to this page and corrected or really knew this was going to happen. I will rebuild the page. Thanks!!!!:

question.
How do I add new pages to link to the bars on the top of my page?
I am not sure how to do this.
In other words, if my domain host lets me have 5 free pages, how do I create them and link them to the tabs at the top of the page?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
You might want to click on profile and change your forum name to something other than your email address. Having your email address displayed with every post is one way to start getting spam.
Create more pages by clicking on the add page icon (it looks like a page with a green + sign at the top left of the program). Then look for the chain which will let you do a link, or use the flash menu maker.
