..coz that'd be daft.
Right. I'm in the middle of redoing all my websites to make them a little more professional and modern (and of course to make some more cash :)!!). Done mine, done Britannia Leisure, and now I'm in the process of redoing the L2 one.
The header of the page is made up of three images that need to sit tight together so they look like one. At the moment there is a gap between the top two and the bottom one. The top two are next to each other and fit fine and look good, but the bottom one leaves a big gap..
If you go to http://www.l2productions.co.uk/new you'll see what I mean. And before you ask, its not going to be a black background when its finished..
So what tags do i need to add to it to make it work? Please? Its driving me mad..

This site tells you all about Lorem Ipsum:

As for my site, as far as I know it should fit 800 x 600 width, but would be grateful for any help and would still like any opinions.

On my previous post, i stand corrected:
"Lorem ipsum is latin, slightly jumbled, the remnants of a passage from Cicero's _de Finibus_ 1.10.32, which begins 'Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit...'
[There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain.].
[de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, written in 45 BC, is a treatise on the theory of ethics very popular in the Renaisance.]

A site should be no more than 760px in width really, so that all 800x600 viewers can see it, as well as those retarded people at 796x598. IMHO, anyone who runs at a res lower than that doesn't deserve to use the Internet and should accept the consequences
When refering to reolution, you talking about the total monitor area not the browser window... Have a look at you monitors and the first thing most of you will see is that damn annoying START bar...
800x600 is statistacally the norm now. But IT IS NOT 800x600!! You have to account for things like office bars (30px) Start Bar (30px), Browser furniture (about another 96px)so buy the time you have finished, your actuall viewable area is: 750 x 490 ish. That if the browser id fully maximised at 800x600 with all the possible desktop bits on... Now all that i just mentioned works in IE5, but not in IE6 as they have added even more bars, then theres NS, the top bars are bigger than IE reducing your space even more...
To get an accurate way of testing you sites to res go to:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/41/index3a.html?tw=design
They have a lot of resouces here for screens size, form elements etc. A vital read for anyone thrying to build a site. they even have Photoshop downloads of all of the basic screen sizes even comparisons between fonts on different platforms.
Or even:
http://www.applythis.com/browsersizer/
Download the free app and you an test your pages in real time in real sizes... you'll be surprised at the results...

Lorem Ipsum is garbled latin... It has no meaning, it's just there to represent content. origonally designed for print use, it's slowly made it's way the the web. Its been a standard 2 paragraphs since the dawn of printing.
It has no meaning, no significance and no structure, it's just there fro asthetics and to prevent a client from concentrating on content untill they sign off a design.

I'd like a 17" LCD but were talking £500 for a cheap basic one, once you've got decent quality and in black your looking at almost £1000 for a monitor.
OK, I think that should fir now, though i cant be bothered changing resolutions to check it..
saw a 19" monitor for £160 the other day *drools*

It's taking into account the 2px each size maximisation border.
This stupid crap-ass PB monitor won't do more than 1024x768 :(
*kick it*
BE BETTER
I'm going to get a nice black 17" TFT soon though, mmm....

hm. I generally design stuff to 760px, so why that one came out as 765 i dont know..
I'll change it in a bit, just cant be bothered now!!
As for monitors, running 1280 x 1024 on this 15" must be damaging my eyesight.. Trying to tlak my dad into a nice big LCD!
