Ann,

The author was using <div> tags with the absolute attribute.

Here is an excerpt from the source.  The author has told the browser that 
he/she would like this image to be located exactly 97px from the top margin 
and 566px from the left margin (which is almost the entire width of the 
screen).

<DIV ID="SGROBJ7CFC421635393C1" STYLE="position:absolute; top:97px; left:566px
; width:699px; height:45px; z-index:1;">
      [Unable to display image]
    </DIV>

If the author were to use the <div align="center"> tag instead it would 
center the image, or anything else for that matter, in the center of the 
viewers page.  One has to be extremely careful with absolute <div> tags just 
for this reason.

Go to the following page I think it will take care of any questions you may 
have regarding absolute div tags (Pros & Cons)

*** If you are using I.E. you will see colored blocks with text inside.
*** If you are using NS you will only see text with a color background.

Hope this is of some help
