Can someone tell me how I can control the main content cell so that it does not expand when I input text or graphics on the following web page?<br />
<br />

Stop using tables for layout and see if the problem persists.<!--content-->http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/<!--content-->Would I be better using layers?<!--content-->Check the article I've linked to above. Using CSS is the answer.<!--content-->on another note:<br />

<br />
here's the script used by macromedia:<br />
<br />
insert in head:<br />
<br />
<script language=javascript><br />
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0<br />
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();<br />
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)<br />
if (a.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/a;}}<br />
}<br />
</script><br />
<br />
<br />
insert in <body> tag:<br />
<br />
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('image1.jpg','image2.jpg','etc..');"><br />
<br />
<br />
hope this helps,<br />
