Once the content loads it's fine, but the page while loading starts from the side and squeezes the page together. Rather then top to bottom like it should.

The page is www.dwhs.net It just started when I added more content in the sidebar.

I tried to take a screen shot of the loading process but I couldn't get it on time.

But the first time you load the page it does it every time.

Thanks!

while loading



After loaded:

Is the server it is hosted on strong enough? Could be a resource problem.

It is simply because it's built using tables. It's how they work.

The page cannot be rendered and sized by the browser until the LAST (</table>) table closing tag is loaded

Chris beat me to it. It's one of the reasons you don't want to use tables for site layout.

Thanks, I used tables before and it loaded better, but with the added content in a certain table now it loads funny.

I guess the next question is do you think it looks unprofessional loading with a squeeze in the end?

Or if you have a sec to check out the code let me know if If there is a way to clean it up.

Thanks!!!

Here is what I added since the loading differance:

It looks professional to me. The one thing I would say is the home page looks a little crowded. It's hard to know where to look right away. Maybe you could save some of the info for the internal pages of the site.
