Huddy i seriously would suggest doing some major reading up, rather than trying th patch copied code from multiple places. That or just pay someone to make your site. Either would a lot less hassle and much more reliable than current trends. I'd love to help but i know i can't properly with php. There are hundreds of good guides out there i don't know which is the best, but here is probably a good bet and a good start As they are excellent for HTML and CSS (since they make the rules and all).

LD no problem dude. Thanks for the advice you have given anyway.

but you are right. Multiple ways of doing one thing and for an old dog of a programmer like me, it gets a bit confussing to say the least.

I got rid of that code validation script in the html as you suggested

I was told that the CSS code I used for the nav bar was the best for what I needed but it appears that it's that that been playing up in firefox, Opera etc..

Anyway, I appear to have fixed it..

<form action="" name="myform" action=processor.php>

Dooh..

I'm an inquistive bugger and sometimes that ain't a good thing.

If you could come up with any suggestions on the nav bar that's in css, i would be greatful

I will possibly have a go Huddy, but i'm pushed for time with exams at the minute, and working on a half built website working out what you want and have done is not my idea of fun. Much nicer building from te ground up with detailed plans set aside in my experience. You don't really have much content to lsoe on your website, so i still think it would be a good idea to go over thte basics of HTML and CSS while its still an easy fix. I bet the Beeb wish they'd done that before they launched into tables decades ago...
