Yup. 2px dashed border with border-radius.

I will probably get burned on this BUT NOPE! Thats the downside of iframes you cannot control the content, apart from all the other negatives that is.

Hi,
 
you are missing a closing div tag </div> just before the footer, this will close off #contentwide and correctly position your footer.
 
Hope this helps.

As stated above there is a missing > as can be seen here:

<div id="contentwide"> <div class="post"> <h1>Freestyle Swimming Technique</h1> <div class="contenttext" <!-- Missing > here --> </div> <div id="respond"> <h2>Write a comment</h2>
 
It appears red like this in Firefox's View Source. Very handy for finding the odd minor syntax error.

In the name of all that's holy:
 

<?php for $y = 2000; $y > 1899; $y--): ?> <option value="<?php echo $y; ?>"><?php echo $y; ?></option> <?php endfor; ?>
 
Edit. In fact, this would be even better:
 

<?php $year = date('Y'); for $y = ($year - 12); $y > ($year - 113); $y--): ?> <option value="<?php echo $y; ?>"><?php echo $y; ?></option> <?php endfor; ?>

Just fill in the fields "value" attribute, then use jQuery val to set the values on the fields onchange.

Just as a heads up mate think you have a typo
 
*The majority of life insurance policies will require no medical examination, however there maybe rare causes when a medical examination maybe required.

Number 1 - the text is held (for some unknown reason) in an image so you need to reduce the width of the image to match the width of containing box below.
 
Number 2 - the div textwidget in the main css has top margin set to 0 so you need to change it, plus your css seems to have an extra body tag:

body body ,div#leftside.textwidget { background-color:#eceffc; }
Change the above to (I have just used a random number of pixels that you will need to tweak):

body, div#leftside.textwidget { background-color:#eceffc; } div#leftside.textwidget: margin-top: 10px;
 
You are also redeclaring your style within the page adding an iframe element so all that needs sorting.
 
Numbers 3 & 4 - I can't see a problem in Chrome but the height of your iframe is set to 1050px which is huge and from your screenshot that is what you are seeing, the whole height of the iframe which is overflowing out of your main content container also creating the whitespace.

Tips for links:
 
- Make it a continual process
- Get links from domains which match your site ie. sites ending in .co.uk
- Don't waste your time posting on blogs/squidoo all day long, check out
some decent services.
- Learn about Google PR (remember this is done on a page basis not site)
the higher the PR link the better.
- Syndicate your content for the best links
- If you want to rank understand you will need backlinks
 
 
Unproven rumours
- You need links from similar pages i.e. a link from a car site for
a website about cars - This isn't true
 
- Buying links will only cause trouble
Again untrue you just need the right ones!
 
- .EDU/.Gov/.ac.uk links are better
Nope, untrue they are only better since generally
they are well built sites with a high PR there domain
extension has nothing to do with it.
 
- You should only build "follow" links
No, make it natural build nofollow links as well
 
- Social media
Personally, I've found social media as a very poor
way to increase my rank.
 
Tips for general SEO
1)
Most website designers don't really do SEO since it's outside
what your paying them for.
 
You need to focus on "keywords" (phrases people Google) check out:
https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none
 
(You will need a gmail account to sign in).
 
Tick the "exact match" box on the left hand side and enter a phrase
it will tell you how many searches are performed a month, choose
one keyword per page and make sure it's in your url, title, description
and keyword tags, in header tags, image name/alt image, anchor text,
bolded, italic and underlined.
 
And when building backlinks get the anchor text as the keyword which you
want to rank for.
 
Hope that helps and remember the only way you will find it if something
works or not is personally testing it.
 
2)
Get your main keyword in your domain address! This is a mega benefit in seo!
 
3)
The older your domain the better you'll rank.
 
4)
The more pages/content the more your site will be found.
 
5)
Make sure your host is based in the UK!
 
6)
Make sure your domain address ends in .co.uk
 
7)
Post your site here for more suggestions!
 
Not everyone will agree with what I've said but it all comes from
personal testing, a lot of people "follow the crowd" but never
test to see what actually works.
 
Google is forever evolving and the truth is no one really full knows
the algorthym so we must test.

Your iframe src has backslash seperators:
 

><iframe src="lblform\life-insurance-form.php?keyword=" name="iframe_lbl" height="1270" width="460" frameborder="0"> </iframe>
 
Change to forward slash to sort the 404

main style sheet as that is where the iframe is bordered. Try just the frame border and work from there.

use a reset http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
 
at a guess it's the iframe border that needs to be set to 0 as in the reset.

give that H2 a span style width of, say 500px

You have multiple errors on that page (least the use of inline styles and tables for non-tabular data) however changing this...
 

<tr><td><h2><font face="calibri";>Free, Instant Life Insurance Quotes</h2></td></tr></font>
 
To this...
 

<tr><td colspan="2"><h2><font face="calibri";>Free, Instant Life Insurance Quotes</font</h2></td></tr>

Yup, it's the same principle but add it to the <form> tag not the submit button, eg:
 

<form action="some_url.php" method="post" target="_top">

Does it to me too. We should do something about him.
 
 
You carry on hanging around being helpful, you'll end up on the Mod shortlist. Let that be a lesson to you.

Both show inside the frame for me.
 
Try:
 
 

target="_top"
 
Edit: Spitfire beat me to it. God damn man, stop being so damn helpful!

You'd need to change the links in the iframe to either:

<a href="#your-link" target="_parent">Link Text</a>
Or

<a href="#your-link" target="_top">Link Text</a>

IE8 they both show within the frame. Why not just point them to the links in the footer?

Just wondering if the fact the width of the container is 140px and the width of the iframe is 370px has anything to do with it.

Mike's correct, it looks like something fruity is going on with your background.
 
Im not sure what your trying to achive but your code is a bit unnecessary.
 

background: #F4F4F4 url(img/bg.gif) top center repeat-y; background-image: url(http://www.lifeinsurancequotesx.co.uk/wp-content/themes/wp-andreas01/img/bg.gif); background-repeat-x: no-repeat; background-repeat-y: repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-position-x: 50%; background-position-y: 0%; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;

I can't see it.
 
Do you mean this?

Just remove the background from the CSS?

That website slowed my PC to an absolute crawl. Something not right there.

It's the column on the right. It's trying to run a GET request for another PHP page but chucks up a 404 error and then does a great Inception impression by getting stuck in a endless loop.

#contentwide line-height:1.6em <- play with that
