I have no idea what is going on! In Firefox my website looks exactly like it does when I make it in Freeway. I also have an old mac version of IE on this comp and it looks ok there too. But in Safari and I think on PC newer versions of IE the tables with pictures & text expand downward overlapping other text.
My website is www.indigoartsclay.com & this phenomenon is best seen on my necklaces pages (http://www.indigoartsclay.com/mediumnecklaces.html)
I’m pretty sure the tables are in CSS (green box around them) & I’m miffed that Safari, of all browsers, would have problems. What gives?? (I’m using Freeway 5.1)

On looking at the page source code your page construction seems a
little confusing. The text elements appear to be created as separate
boxes placed on top of the table; each one is a separate div in the
page.
You could try putting each item’s text and image into the relevant
table cell, all together. That way no overlapping could occur;
everything would grow downwards together.
Alternatively, try ditching the table altogether and use individual
image and text boxes instead. By using a table for some items and not
for others you put your layout at the mercies of how each browser
decides to scale the different things. If you like, you could use a
single HTML box for an item, with a graphic box pasted in on its own
line, in the run of text.
Finally, throw the Mac version of IE in the trash! It doesn’t tell
you anything about how a page will look in anything other than the
Mac version of IE. It does not render pages in the same ways as
Windows versions of IE, and it is getting near a decade old. That’s
like using 19th-century operating equipment in a modern hospital…
you just don’t do it!

Completely forgot to include that I’m using the gallery action I downloaded separately! Maybe that’s why it looks confusing in page source… And that’s why it has to be separate html boxes…

Well I thought that maybe it had to do with a caption option in the gallery action expanding the table even though I hadn’t added a caption. But then I realized that on my cords page I hadn’t gotten to adding the gallery action to the table yet and it still expands down in Safari! Argh!! Help!

So it ISN’T because of the Gallery action then?
In that case, check back over my previous post. Any help?
