Can I lock in place my layers?

My layer layout is moving on some newer computers, someone suggested I use
the tables layout, so I am willing to make the changes, but I have alot of
pages to change. Is there any way to lock them in place where they are
located?

See www.theroofmasters.com it seems to only happen on new computers, and I
have the latest browser, but I am missing something in my design.
 
I didn't see any problem, other than the fact that some layers would not
initially display where they belonged, but as soon as the page finished
loading, they jumped to their correct positions. After that, nothing moved.

The site is using absolute CSS positioning to position the layers, and they
will not move.

Now, if you're concerned about the fact that they start out in a different
location, there's not much you can do about that. The initial position is
going to be based upon the rules of HTML, which means that the layers (which
are HTML divs) will appear in the order in which they appear in the HTML,
until the CSS puts them where they belong.

I don't think that's correct. This is why CSS goes in the head of the page.
This allows absolute positioning to be rendered in place.
 
Thank you Kevin, the issue isn't that they don't start out just right most of
the time. On five different computers around me it show up correct, but on
the new computer with the flat screen it show up out of place every time.
But, I love using the layer like a text box incert so I can place it exactly
where I want.
When I start a new page I have been simply incerting layers, no tables
nothing.
Is that the wrong way to do that? I have found the abosolute button, but
does that lock that layer exactly where I put it?
 
Thank you, I went and walked through all the training on tables at the
training site and will change my ways and also add other browsers to my
computer to view what I create.
 
Good going. This will get you started until you can learn how to use CSS
(not layers) for layout....
