Cant post you link as its not uploaded on server and i am designing it for personal course work.

I mean suppose i create two tables.. one on left had side to create a list and one on right hand side to create a list.. now when i change the resolution.. one table comes sometimes at the middle of screen.... hope it will help

Basically you need one to align to the left and the other to align to the right? You could possibly make them adjoining and put them in the center.

I am way rusty on web building skills, though.

Don't use tables. Use proper xhtml.

If you use CSS (instead of tables) and align your elements with that it should work at all resolutions, and if you use standard code (validate your code here: The W3C CSS Validation Service , The W3C Markup Validation Service) then it should also work in all browsers. Tables are considered sloppy practice now days. CSS can do everything tables did and better because it makes the code render more efficiently.

Aside from the suggestions posted here, try using width and/or height attributes with your table tags. That will make the tables retain fixed dimensions and should prevent the behavior you described.

That only sets a minimum size, but tables can't have a static size.
