Question Web help -

Some thing strange has happened:

www.admiralcomputers.co.uk

None of the images are showing. They are in the designated locations but are shoing in the log as not found?

I've checked the privileges which are fine. None of this makes sense.

The hosting people don't seem to know what's going on. It was working a few weeks back and I've changed nothing.

Any ideas?

I see images but the layout is broken in FF3 in case you didn't know already, the sidebar buttons overlap the main text so you can't see it properly. They also overlap their own expanding menus, making them hard to read.

hmm... dicking about with the CSS, I can make the main body of text visible properly, though not the menu's yet...

edit - try

Code:
#nav li a {
		width: 10em;
		w\idth : 10em;
		display : block;
		color : navy;
		font-weight : bold;
		text-decoration : none;
		background-color : white;
		border : 3px solid navy;
		padding : 0 0.5em;
	}
instead of

Code:
	#nav li a {
		width: 11em;
		w\idth : 11em;
		display : block;
		color : navy;
		font-weight : bold;
		text-decoration : none;
		background-color : white;
		border : 3px solid navy;
		padding : 0 0.5em;
	}
Fixes it in FF3, no idea about IE/Opera/etc.

edit - changing width and w/idth to 9em looks nicer imo, so you can give that a try too if you want.

I think it really needs a "if ie" rule in it so that it displays properly in both browsers

No point having a standard if people can't develop based on it.

Well this was just some code i pulled off the net. I assumed it worked. I'm not a CSS developer to know otherwise.

I think some kind of FF/IE check would be a good idea?

I think he means people like you, in the sense of 'What's the point in a standard when the people develop according to it end up with sites that are broken for 80% of users'

Please provide the standard and the code so I can integrate to my website.

Many thanks
