thanks 4 ur help, i got it

apparently IE doesn't know how to stretch a table as the browser window stretches

so i did it all with separate images and absolute positioning, for much shorter code:

Code:

body
{
position:absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

img#bg
{
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
z-index:1;
}

#content
{
position:absolute;
z-index:2;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

img#titleimg 
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:17%;
right:0%;
top:0%;
}

img#mainmenuimg 
{
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
width:30%;
height:10%;
right:35%;
bottom:0%;
}

img#analogskillsimg 
{
position:absolute;
width:40%;
height:50%;
left:0%;
bottom:30%;
}

img#programmingimg 
{
position:absolute;
float:right;
vertical-align:bottom;
right:0%;
bottom:30%;
width:40%;
height:50%;
}

img#analogskillstext 
{
position:absolute;
vertical-align:bottom;
left:0%;
bottom:20%;
width:40%;
height:10%;
}

img#programmingtext
{
position:absolute;
right:0%;
bottom:20%;
width:40%;
height:10%;
}

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main2.css" />
</head>
<body>

<img src="backgroundfire2.gif" alt="background image" id="bg" />

<div id="content">
<img src="titlemaxfontgreyredfire.gif" alt="background image" id="titleimg" />
<img src="analogskillspic.jpg" alt="background image" id="analogskillsimg" />
<img src="programmingpic.jpg" alt="background image" id="programmingimg" />
