Creating staggered buttons ?

[BradleyMiller webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a series of buttons, and I would like to make them an arc, I move the individual buttons and then when I do a preview I've always got buttons way out of wack -- like HUGE gaps out of wack. It's like the HTML is jacked up horribly. Is this a "feature/flaw/bug"? I love the roundtrip to Dreamweaver, but little things like this kind of make things a pain. Would I be better off making a rollover manually instead of using the buttons ?

If you want to move things into difficult positions and don't want the
resulting table to explode, you'll need to turn on spacers. Choose File

> HTML Setup, ad click on the Table tab. work For Space with, choose

1-pixel Transparent Spacer. Note that there is no guarantee that the
resulting table will not explode in some browser, somewhere. Think Swiss
grid. If you keep your buttons and other dodads in neat rows and
columns, you'll never struggle with tables again.

Ok --I got it in there . . .but I have a feeling that my way of creating a page (I split the site into a header/footer include) is causing a problem:

[url]http://www.statfab.com/[/url] -- some pages that are small enough show the buttons correctly . . . some of them that wrap too long from my CMS system are causing the buttons to spread wildly. I can fix this manually, but is there some other voo-doo to do this all without some table slight of hand?
