image keeps cutting off on right side of screen

| Hi,
I'm finshed the pages of my website and I've been using layers and then
inserting the images into those. The only problem is that when I view it in my
browser and I have my 'favourites' column down the left hand side of the
screen, everything on the right side is chopped off.
I viewed some other sites and they seem to 'roll' to the left side when the
screen is made smaller with my 'favourites' column.
Does anyone know how I would do this?
Many thanks.

| This is happening because you have used 'layers' to create your page.
Layers are absolutely positioned on the browser's screen (or viewport) at
the coordinates specified in the <div> tag in the code. Resizing the
viewoport does not change those coordinates - hence the 'absolute' position.
Since that image is contained in a 'layer' that is placed here -
<div id="Layer4" style="position:absolute; width:200px;
height:115px; z-index:7; left: 761px; top: 378px;">
----------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
at 761px from the left margin, and since the image itself is -
<img src="images/splatter-stockist.gif" width="243" height="239"
-------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^
243 pixels wide, any browser viewport that is 761+243 = 1004px wide or less
will see that image being cut off. My 1280x1024 screen's 720px wide browser
viewport never even sees the image at all.
So - the bottom line is this. Learn some HTML and layout methods. Build
pages that can accommodate your visitors. Anticipate who your visitors are
and design accordingly.
A flexible table layout would be a good place for you to start with this -

| Ahh Isee. Is there any way of making sure things will not be cut off but not
use table. I wanted the whole theme of my site to be organic, and not really
have tables or boxes. Is that possible at all?

| Uhhh - why would tables be non-organic? Most websites you surf to use them
for layout....

| Oh right, I'm new to all this so forgive me if I say silly things. When I
thought of 'tables' and had an image of lots of columns and rows! I've redone
the site and used tables instead so if you would be so kind as to see what my
website looks like on your computer I would really appreciate it. The address
is
www.dolldeluxe.com
Thanks.

| Well I'm after something simple but interesting. I'm taking a course in
Dreamweaver/website design in October, so that should be a big help as at the
moment I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm still at Uni and I'm trying to do
this in my spare time and it's quite time consuming. But I'm learning each day
and that's the most important thing so thanks for all your help and advice.
