Quick Question
Hey everyone!
I've been getting more and more familiar with HTML over the past four or five months, but I don't do it everyday and from week to week as I work on building things, I don't always do the same thing. One aspect of HTML that I've never quite figured out is how to put images where I want them when it comes to putting them next to a table. I have duplicate images on each side of a javascript table and I can't get the three items (two images and the table) to center nicely without screwing up the rest of it. I've fiddled with it for some time, but perhaps you could take a look.
This is the code that I've been using in the body for the section I'm trying to figure out:
<img src="http://www.homeofmercy.com/images/bible.gif" align="left" HSPACE="145%" VSPACE="25%" width="100" height="100">

.item_panel

Its the 'absolute' positioning of your JavaScript menu that is causing you problems not the html centering, although to be honest your code is in a bit of a mess to say the least.
I suggest tidying it up http://validator.w3.org/ before doing anything else!
