it says 'valid xhtml'. It isn't. End of review.

and increasing text size cuts off your text

tried it in both IE8 and Chrome. Couldn't see any problems with loading.
 
Out of interest, why are the Ordering and Contact pages the same.....bar the heading?
 
 
ps your Title tag says 'desings'

Hello everyone who reads this post.
 
I've just got some new web design work. My client has a website which he needs to be able to update himself.
 
So off I went, I went to google, and I asked, do you have any simple CMS systems for web designers?
 
He said "yes" try these two. Cushy and Surreal.
 
I always have an optimistic outlook when my friend google has proper answers for me.
 
I read the documentation on surreal and installed it into my clients website.
 
Now he has got his hands on his own content he is adding ll kinds of irrelevant stuff.
 
Anyway the problem arose when he decided to put lots of news in the news section.
 
The container div is absolute, in position and size meaning that all the extra news text put inside it overflows over the bottom margin.
 
So I got my rubber gloves and SARS mask on and dived in to the code. I have never inherited a site like this one. The code is crazy. I think Surreal had a field day on an already WYSIWIG'ed website.
 
I have gone back and adapted themark up so that the Surreal CMS works better and doesn't ruin the layout.
 
I think I will have to re-write all the pages so that future changes by me (or others) will be easier to understand.
 
If you look at the site http://www.handmadewallpaper.co.uk'>http://www.handmadewallpaper.co.uk
 
You will see that the news page is a bit wonky because I'm in the middle of redoing it.
 
I guess my question to anyone reading this is:
 
HOW DO I CONSTRUCT A LAYOUT WHICH WILL ADAPT TO THE EXTRA CONTENT MY CLIENT WILL BE PUTTING IN. IM USING RELATIVE DIV'S WITH NEGATIVE INDENT LEVELS. But I don't think this is the answer.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(there is no nemu for nav yet, no need till i get this bit sorted)
