Everything moves in the browser

I am so frustrated. I don't understand why some items move when I preview in
my browser or upload my web page. I am using the Layer tables. Some items
move (not all of them). If they are layered they all move. If they are not
layered, then only some move. Everything looks lined up perfect in the
dreamweaver page, but once you preview it in the browser, items move. Why?
How can I prevent this?

Its one of the bug bears of web page authoring.
We all suffer this! Sometimes a one pixel gap
breaks you whole design! Its mad.
I usually trace each step backwards, and check
every thing I do with a preview.
Or use coffeecup visual designer where you
can just drag and drop stuff around. But with
that you have to be happy with their exported version
and rather limited offerings.
Or learn Flash, but search engines can't search your
pages then.

You might find a little way of doing things in DW that
always works and then stick to that. For example
if you make sure there are not too many overlapping
layers things work better.

All the best...

If anyone knows why my design would look different in the browser I would
appreciate ANY feedback. I don't get it. Not everything moves. Just one or
two things! Hughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you post a link to a page that exhibits this, perhaps someone will be
able to suggest something. Without seeing what you have done, it would
be impossible to guess.
