Going to officialy put Shithead online in a few days but our homepage seems to mess up with my resolution (1280x800). Have a look below:

The circled area seems to just protrude there for some reason, and I cant shrink it down with Frontpage. Any ideas?

What's the coding for the page?

Have you tried putting <center> tags around the text? (you do want it to be centered don't you?), are you using any css, if so have you checked it to make sure it's not making it align to the right?

Edit: Ah didn't see the bit where you said it messes up in your res

I had a problem like that with floats and widths in css, i think i used float:center (which is invalid css but it worked :P) and got rid of the widths in the end. Your problem may not be that though.

I think the main problem here is that you are using a osX theme for windows.

The only thing i can see is there is a few lines of code which look like this:

<DIV id=content style="width: 703; height: 266">
<p style="text-align: center">
<img border="0" src="HomepageAnimation.gif" width="698" height="214"></p>


Check that the "width:703; height: 266" numbers are the same in your other pages?

On the other pages it is sometimes displayed as a percentage and sometimes is defined as AUTO...
