Can anyone help? I'm creating a website using a programme called WebEasy, only I'm finding it quite difficult!

I have got may site looking exactly as I want it, but when I go to look at the preview it is all fragmented.

The page I have designed has small spheres randomly placed as background to the text. Thesphere's borders are obviously square and I think this is where my problem lies, it seems that the spheres are "cut up" when I look at the preview.

It's difficult to explain but I hope someone can help!

I've never heard of the program but what I'm guessing is that the code that you have written isn't standards complient, causing it to be displayed in different browsers.

For example, something written for IE will often look different in Firefox.

Can you explain exactly what you want (with examples if possible) and we can tell you the best way of doing it in any web page creator.

I'm such a novice at all this, I haven't written any code, just used a programme which means I can make the site in a supposedly WYSIWYG fasion, simply writing the text and placing objects where I want them to be.

I've tried doing a screen dump and entering it into this message to show you what I mean but it won't let me.

Just an aside to this. You may not have written any code but the program has generated code. A WEB page is created using HTML (HyperText Markup Language). This is code (mostly formatting tags)that tell a WEB browser how to display the page. It's that code that LT is talking about.

If you want to show us what it looks like you can save a screen shot to a JPG file and use the Insert Image option or Attach it to a note here.

Thanks. I have attached screen shots of what it should look like and how it looks on the preview.

Thanks for your help

Ok, it looks like the software is generating tables for the text and those tables have borders that are breaking up your bubbles. You can probably fix it by setting the borders to 0, but I don't know how using your software.

Thanks, I'll give it a try

If you ever need to sell your house, I'll give you a big discount (if I ever get the site up and running!)

I agree with Scott. Table cells by default have a margin of 1 pixel. This is probably causing the gaps.

You'll need to look at the table properties (or similar) and ensure that cell spacing or margins (not sure what it would be called) are set to 0.

Thanks guys, all fixed!

Great, That was real guesswork on my part, educated guesswork, but guesswork.
