I added in a table, but they never seem to align right, and was wondering if I am missing anything?

i have no idea if you're talking about the same thing as I am but I hate aliging stuff in DW. The tables seemed to be hard to manually move and stuff.

I just put a table in, and got it to the right size(put the images in) and switched to the different view where you could move them with ease.

Do you mean so the pages automatically adjust to whatever screen size? Is so, I posted about this awhile back. Here was the response I got:

just put all your stuff in a table and set its width to 100%
and have it centered like this
[center]
[table width="100%"]
[/table]
[/center]

I don't do the center tag. I just adjust the table width to 100%. Search for my post in the client-side forum.

Adding to what "R" said. Set the complete table to 100% but also take one of the image in the sliced up table and set it as a background, doing this will make stretch and tile as the browser moves.

I like the liquid design, it's not easy sometimes, but it does make your site look good over a range of resolutions and views.

Here's an example of the technique I described above. I designed this site a while back and it is liquid in the manner described above. Take a look....

The "header" image for this site I designed for a local rock radio station is a liquid table. You'll notice that from 800X600 and above, it stretches and fits the window. Hope this helps. It takes some practice....good luck.

EXAMPLE OF A LIQUID DESIGN

GO HERE:
http://www.realrock1007.com

HIT THE "HTML ONLY" LINK (unless you want to watch the flash intro I made)

Once there, the top or "header" image with all the buttons and the name of the site is a table that is "liquid". It will stretch and fit any size browser window for resolutions 800X600 and above.

I believe that is what Chimaira wants to do.

Its called liquid cause its fits to different resolutions. Like water
fitting to any container whether square or oval.
