sure, I don't much care for dreamweaver though... I use homesite mostly, and dreamweaver only when i have to modify someone else's crappy html (design view is great for that)

also, sometimes part of the client deliverable is to provide dreamweaver templates, so I will take my code into DW and save them as DWT

http://www.krmconsultants.com . I created this website. But the bottom banner doesnt always work for different screen size. I made the bottom banner "absolute bottom" on dreamweaver. I belive it doesnt work on screen 1280x1024 (it is still showing the back ground after the bottom banner).

i would just turn off x.

change the line that says
background-image: url(bg.jpg);
to
background:#cecece url(bg.jpg) repeat-y;
the reason there is a 10px break at the top and bottom, and the break in the background (noticeable on the sahadow is because the header image is enclosed in a

tag.

10 px break? I dont see 10px break. The shadow is broken on top right because i made graphic of the shadow too look like there is a light from top left. So the shadow is projected to bottom right. I will try your code asap. I am so swamped at work right now.

I'm looking at it using firefox, and it might not have that break in IE. It's really not that big of a deal. I think most people would think that it was intentional, if they saw it.

robin, i had a bit of free time here at work, and took a look for you. the issue is one of browser compatibility rather than screen size.

here is a screenshot of what I see in firefox:

(the colors in my image are off, I just saved it as a small file size - on the web it looks fine)

here's the changes i would make:

save this file in the main web root folder as http://www.krmconsultants.com/krmConsult.css
on all pages, replace the code between <style></style> with: <link rel="stylesheet" href="krmConsult.css" type="text/css">
on all pages, replace the

tag holding the top banner, and the two image maps with <p class="layout">
on all pages, add <div id="container"> right after <body>
on all pages, add </div> right before</body>


page example here (this is just an example - the main background image will not appear, because I do not have your images on my server...I've commented the code, but you wouldn't want to copy it straight over because the css reference points to my server, not yours)
