Hi Steve, Tom
Thanks for your rapid responses.
If I take all the <td></td> out the objects on the page get out of position.
Also, as Frontpage put them in in the first place, I must be using Frontpage
badly.
I interpreted the advice from the tutorial in putting an object like a
button at (x,y) on the page as
a) to draw a layout table the size of the page - i.e. a playing area
b) put a cell onto the page with top left at (x,y)
c) put the cursor into the cell
d) insert object
Tom also notes that I am preloading the images. I'm so so new to this game I
don't know that means. How do I get round it
