Timeline placement issues

Greetings,
I've finally managed to create a timeline that pages through 4 pictures. The
problem is when I preview it in my browser the timeline slideshow does not
remain in the same place ie - when I resize the window the timeline moves
independant of the rest of the webpage. Is there a way to "dock" this timeline
in one spot?? Thanks

I'll bet what is happening is that the rest of the page is moving with
respect to the timeline. But bear in mind that a 'timeline' is not an HTML
page element. It's a javascript effect applied to other page elements. To
say anything about your problem one would need to see the page. Can you
post a link?

Murray,
Pretty fresh at this website stuff so pardon the ignorance. I would be more
than happy to "post a link" - does this mean I should drop the html page on my
ftp so you can view it or does that mean something else??:confused;

Murray,
Hello. I took for granted the only way you could view my page would be for me
to place the site on my ftp. I went ahead and did that and the link is
www.ecoinvestigators.com. The background for the slide show doesnt match up
with the slideshow do to some issue with the placement being saved in the html
file (whose name I changed to post the site). Anyways thank you very much for
the reply and any infor you have that could possibly keep this thing in one
relative location would be awesome.

12 layers and centering tables. When the viewport size changes, the
centering table moves to a new center point. Layers, being absolutely
positioned, are not affected by this, and remain fixed to their original
coordinates. What you are seeing is the page contents shifting to the right
UNDER the layers.

To prevent that from happening change the reference point for the layers
from the body tag to a relatively positioned and centering ancestor div.

Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

change this -

<body ...>

to this -

<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

and see if that helps.

Th I tried that and had some mixed results. Ended up just shifting my tables to be centered on the left so everything remains constant. Thank you for the the help, much appreciated.

It will work if done properly.

But a left aligning table works too. Good luck!
