New and Frustrated -

[brian@swirlingsilverdesigns.com]

Would anyone be willing to give me a bit of advice on how to "lock"
the positioning on www.lheymen.com ? I like the layout when the
browser is maximized, but when it is reduced, all the elements move.
I am trying to help out a friend, but I am stumped on this one....
Thanks ahead of time - please let me know if you need more info -
ps..I validated HTML and CSS.....

As Jukka would say, "stop wanting that" It is supposed to adjust for
different view ports. Of course you could tweak a bit to keep things lie
the psi character from breaking out, but it should do that. However,
dang you got to optimize those images! The main one there is 400Kb and
simply converting to JPG made it 1/20 the size! Learn about image
compression...

Take care,

I think the page resizes nicely, except when it gets just too small.
Have you used min-width ?

Also you should always validate your HTML, right now you have many
errors in it.

No I have not used min-width, but I did an HTML validation (at least
on the main page / I need to do the others) and it came back ok. I
didn't want to put a lot of time in to it if I redesigned the entire
site - I'll try seting a min-width to see if the psi and navbar will
keep from jumping out, and finish up the HTML validation- Thanks for
the help!

Every little tip helps when you're learning! Thanks - I'll covert the
png to jpg soon.

Re: New and Frustrated -

I think you need to align your images a little better than they are
right now. Consider making the left-hand menu continue to the bottom
of the page, and extending the main heading to cover the width of both
the menu and main body of the page.

Cheers,
Chris
