    i know you're not an experienced web designer, but something you might really want to think about it building this by hand using xhtml/css.

    it is super slow (even on my t1 at work), and the html that was generated by your editor is awfull.

    a lot of the problems could easily be fixed by re-writing the markup in xhtml.

    using css to display images and such would help positioning a lot also.

    you can still use tables to hold the "buttons" but don't just slice up an image out of photoshop and use it.

    first off, one easy solution would be to use one large (optimised/compressed) image for the background...

    encase the entire block in a DIV tag and use css to put the background image in the display. then, put a table over the top of the of the background and position your elements in their correct spots.

    or, you could even skip the table if you're brace and use exact pixel positioning in css.

    the site would work a lot faster, cost you/them less (due to size of files) on bandwidth.
