    Dear Friends

    I am very new to the Webdesigning. I decided to learn Dreamweaver CS5. Created a webpage and uploaded it here. I have used 800X200 image as header. When I preview it with IE9 at 1366X768 screen resolution it is

    Completely Left aligned

    Almost 25% area on left shows Header bG colour insted of Image

    There is a distance between header and sidebars.

    Please help me resolve these issues. Also please suggest me settings which should work well across all resolutions and all across all browsers.

    Regards

    I'll say this now and save you a lot of wasted time: go back to basics and learn HTML and CSS from the ground up with books. Never start with WYSIWYGs as they form bad habits.

    Can you construct your question more clearly? Are you asking to have the gap between the side columns and the logo removed?

    you have to know about basic html/css to design a website.
    w3schools.com is the best place to learn about them.
    also you can use youtube for video lessons.

    best of luck!

    That is a great start, but you need to learn at least the basics of HTML and CSS. What you need to do to your website now is some CSS edits, adding some padding and other properties into the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file.

    If you need some further help, please let me know. But i recommend that you follow what the above to members have recommended and posted.

    i am in the exact same position, having been to night school to learn html and dreamweaver, i do use both ( for practice as i am not yet good enough to launch a good enough looking site). html will stand you in better ground. as for the problem with dreamweaver i find youtube brilliant for such problems.

    hi AzharNadeem,
    i will agree with "Brum". you should not use the design interface of dreamweaver to develop websites because it causes lot of problems with the html & css layouts.
    it's highly recommended that you should learn html and css properly and then start coding.
    if you want to continue with dreamweaver then use the split view and write the code in the code section. this will help you to view the real time changes of your design.

    it will be really helpful if you can ask you question to the point as it's little bit confused.:confused:

    Dear Azhar i also agree with "Brum and Abhishek" that you have to learn more about HTML and CSS to make you website more beautiful.
