They don't need to change the design - you need to change your browser! Try it in a *real* browser like Mozilla - the cities remain in the right position.

They don't realize that some people don't keep their windows maximized or use a certain resolution or may even have a personal stylesheet overriding their styles. They just create a design that looks good to them on their machine with their personal settings. I'm not taking away from anyone's ability to code and design a site, I'm just saying that some designers don't realize that another person's setup is different from theirs and that some things just don't work as intended when things are viewed differently.
