Banner jumps from middle to top of screen JGW1 04-05-2008

I have recently changed the design of www.trec-uk.org.uk to make more
use of tables so that text is contained within fixed-width areas.

Since I have made the change, a new problem has appeared. It quite
often happens that, when a page is first loaded, the banner heading
for the page is shown half way down the screen and then, after about a
second, it jumps to its proper position at the top of the screen. Once
the page has been cached, this does not happen.

Can anyone suggest the reason for this problem and how it may be
cured?

With thanks.

Heh, that's a step backwards into the last century...

I do not see that happening, in Firefox or Opera.

Perhaps you should start by correctly sizing the images. They should be
the same physical size as your HTML wants them to be.

Also,

Why not move on to modern coding practices?
