Mysterious jumping text

[Ted]

(I have submitted this before, but didn't get any responses...can anyone help
?)

My website (http://jaraina.co.uk/) uses a template page which includes the
logo and tagline for the site. Now that I have published the site I have
noticed that, on first visit to each page, the tagline text appears
momentarily slightly to the left of its correct position then jumps into its
correct place. On subsequent visits to each page, this problem does not
occur. The tagline is inside a text box - I did this to
make it easier to position the tagline exactly where I wanted it.

Originally the problem did not show up in 'preview in browser' mode, only
once I'd published. Now I'm seeing it in preview too. I've tried adjusting
the position of the text box, centering the text within the box, inserting
the text without using a text box, but haven't managed to solve it. I'd be
grateful for suggestions.

Remove the text box and use a table/cell instead.

Thanks for the response. I've tried removing the text box and inserting a 2
cell table with logo in lh cell and tagline text in rh cell. Looks perfect
in 'preview in browser' but when published introduces a worse problem because
the logo takes too long to display + ,when it does, seems to cause the
tagline text to shift slightly. This looks really bad.

There seems to be other postings pointing to similar probs - see 'What makes
my page jump ?'

I this a constraint of using page templates ? I don't want to use frames.
Should I be looking at CSS (a linked style sheet) ?

Remove all VML Graphics, anything create with the toolbar such as shapes, wordart, textbox, etc.
then your page(s) should display correctly in all browsers/platforms.

FYI: Your site is already loading in a frame.
