We have a new front page

I have re-written the MR2 Australia front page for this site.
Let me know what you think
http://www.mr2australia.com/
You may have to refresh your browser to see the new version of the page
I have only tested it on Internet Exploder so far so please let me know if there are any issues with whatever you are using

    Great pic, your car's a beast. I like it.
    The image appears tiled to me in ie9, as opposed to just 1 image centered or stretched to fit.

    Now it looks stretched instead of tiled.

    There is an extensive build thread for my car here: http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=18316

    Which browser (and version) are you looking at it with?
    It's not stretched in IE9 or Firefox

    For me: 1 image only, anchored to the left, so it's  better. Depending on how much zoom on my view, it either partially or fully fills the screen (or overfills and  can't see whole pic).
    Don't know if you can centre it maybe?
    IE9, screen is 1920x1080

    Stretched, Firefox.

    I'm using an old version of FF do maybe that's why I'm seeing something different to you.
    It sucks how browsers behave differently.
    I'll have a think about a better way of doing it. I wanted the image to be in the background though I may have to just do it as a normal image to get around these browser differences.
    Thanks for your input.
    This isn't what I do for a living so I'm always learning by trial and error.

    I like the layout, but it's stretched for me too (google chrome v. 22.0.1229.94).

    Hey bud try running a table with locked dimensions

    Your page format should be set to either 800x600 or 1024x768 etc etc

    Use page layout tables for each image section you wish to use.

    Let me know if you need help.

    I have t touched webpage stuff in ages I may be out of date

    its stretched and doesn't follow the rule of thirds.
     
    Being the honest type, can't say I really like it. Sorry!
