Currently I'm doing a website for someone and I'm wondering what I need to address to stop my pages from 'shifting'. The site has 5 pages, centered and each created from the same template, but when you view them in a browser one particular page 'shifts'. I can understand that it is page with lots of text on it so it 'spread out' more than the others but what is the exact attribute that would fix this?

It seems any page I create, from a template, will do the same thing. They are center aligned, but the pages with more content than others 'shift' or dare I say 'jiggle'. It really disturbs me that they are not consistently sized.....

Hope someone gets the idea of what I mean and can help me out. I have no problem with learning what I need to know, but I just need some direction as I get lost in Dreamweaver's help guide.

Thanks in advance (....I hope)

Thanks for the response Creactive!

If you click onto this site the 'pre-owned' vehicle page 'shifts'....again, I understand because it has more data, but how do I address a specific attribute to fix it?

Which browser does the issue exist, Firefox and Konqueror it appears fine? (I don't have IE to hand to test with).

I tried in firefox yesterday and it shifted once and now it doesn't. When you click a link it shifted to the right but then went back to it's origonal position. You can't do anything to stop that i think.

yes, I'm using Firefox and now when I checked it on Explorer it wasn't shifting.....how annoying...

If you go here:

you can see the width difference better ( I checked on Explorer and while the shifting doesn't seem as extreme as in Firefox ), the widths aren't constrained....width-wise

and thanks for the input people! Nice to have a place like this where folks know what they're talking about happy.gif
