Hi all hope someone can help, a website I am working on looks fine to me but others have reported layout problems that I simply cannot see in either IE (vs7) or Firefox, the website is www.psychicandtarotreadings.co.uk and the first thing people report is that the top banner love & relationships is not centered (it is on mine) then menu item "about us" the text runs over to the right and is hidden. I am using a Joomla template and everything looks fine, my screen res is set at 1024 x 768

Hope someone can help herE

Cheers
Paul

try sticking a width on the top banner (equal to the image width) and add margin: 0 auto...

#bannerarea {
width: ???px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

you've got it floated left at the moment, so delete that, add the code above, and it should centre.

Ok thanks, using joomla do you know what file that would be in, sorry a lot of this is done in admin. Def a problem with my browser I think though, several people I have asked have said the text on various pages runs off the page or under stuff, I can't see it in either ie or firefox, most strange.

Ok thanks, but any ideas why the layout looks worng to everyone else but me, changed the template and now the featured readers (top right column on my browser) is apparently sitting underneath the main text to everyone else?

Thanks
Paul
