How to start
Hi Patrik, I'd like to offer my services as a web designer to you. I'm degree level qualified, with 10 years of full time industry experience. I don't just do design - I develop, do SEO, make CMS' etc.., but if you want me to work purely on design I'd be happy to - I designed (and built) all of these... www.orangeamps.com www.safetycameraswiltshire.co.uk www.schillingcts.com www.pcandmacparts.co.uk www.madleyproperty.com www.barker-white.com www.hiltoncare.com www.chippenhamgolfclub.co.uk www.bubbleboxballoons.co.uk www.wiltshire-web.co.uk www.wilts.co.uk www.vectorbroadcastnews.co.uk www.qhh.co.uk www.scootercentral.co.uk www.enquiryandservice.co.uk www.wellnessworkshop.co.uk www.autoelectrics-uk.com www.bathcityapartments.co.uk There are plenty more but my fingers hurt from ctrV now

Iframe Search
Are the images referenced from a database?
-
How do you make a site scroll down to a link?
Nice, I've only done this <a name="etc before! I'll give it a go.
-
text inputs and text-transform is it possible ?
text-transform:uppercase does work but try nesting the styling input - #mydiv input { text-transform:uppercase } or failing that add it to the input tag itself <input type="submit" style="text-transform:uppercase">
-
customising a submit button without class or id
put the submit button inside a div, then style it like this - #mydiv input { border: solid 1px #000000; background-color: #ff0000; } <div id="mydiv"> <input type="submit" name"Submit" value="Submit"> </div>

ie float problem
I find that unless you use the display:inline for floated divs, they tend to add some white space on older IE browsers.
-
Validation Problems
I'm not convinced that the W3C html validator is up-to-date to be honest. Unless you change div ids to classes, so that all the divs are referrenced as different names?
-
Lightboxes
I'd used a very simple CSS lightbox script on www.wiltshire-web.co.uk. Why don't you copy it?
-
Simple (hopefully) text area question
Is overflow:scroll and better than overflow:auto? I only mention it because my CSS editor still doesn't like the overflow command.
-
How do I change my site to suit IE?
If the problem is just IE, you're on the right track. Typically I code in FF, knowing that all the other browsers apart from IE will work in a similar fashion, then test in IE. Just take your time to look through your code, you'll find it.

How to do buttons
Use CSS styled text links - it's amazing what you can achieve. I'd steer clear of javascript if you've got any choice, and stock buttons look BAD.
-
Accepting Credit Card Payments
Use Paypal. It's widely recognised, works globally, dead easy to integrate and doesn't charge a monthly fee.
-
books/tutorials that are hands on?
I'd be tempted to stick to forums rather than spending money on books which are all-to-quickly out-of-date.
-
Drop down menu
Use CSS, last time I checked Suckerfish is JS so not too friendly with the SEs. Copy the drop down menus from any of these sites I've built, I won't mind! www.orangeamps.com www.wilts.co.uk www.wiltshire-web.co.uk

Where to start
Yeah, I'd definitely learn PHP over ASP. Don't forget the fun stuff though too - learn Photoshop and Flash later on.
