How do I stop a web page changing when the browser is resized?

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm fairly new to frontpage and am having a bit of a problem that
I hope someone can help me with. I have designed my site and it looks great
in normal view, but when I view it in the browser and re-size the browser, it
all squashes up so all the text is on top of eachother or squashed up.

I have very little knowledge of HTML and such like and I have no idea how to
use a style sheet, so to get the top banner of the page how I wanted it, I
basically drew it and inserted it as an image behind the box with the writing
that sits on top of the banner, if that makes sense. When the broweser page
is resized though, the text centralises in the smaller window and is actually
on top of the logo image on the picture below it.

Also the nav bar I've made on the left sqashes up and many of the options
spread onto two lines. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Any help would be really appreciated!

You can use tables with fixed pixel widths to do that. (The browser will
just get a scroll bar when resized.)

Though if your text is overlapping other items, you probably have errors in
your existing tables, or are using CSS layout (in which case that will
happen).

Post a link and someone can probably get more specific.

Tables are sort of tricky to learn, so maybe spend a little while getting
know what the restrictions are.
