thanks guys for the welcome and the comments. i will take a look at the site you posted.

hello, ive been hovering around here for a while now, getting some very good tips. i have been building websites part time for around a year and i am still learning but after losing my job just before christmas i am thinking of going freelance. alternatively i would work for a company building websites. i am an electrician by trade but as you may all know the market has gone for electrical work and it doesnt interest me anymore. so if anyone has a job going for a designer/developer and fancy giving someone a chance here i am. some examples of my work. and i know they are nothing special but then i am still learning. Unphased RTEC

they are networked but the machine i am running Vista on is also on the network and also the machine i used to make the site lol, weird as celery?

yeah that works but how come it shows up fine on the xp machines before i changed it?

i like the colours but shouldnt it say 'from just $98' rather than 'just from $98'?

yeah but all 4 computers are running ie7 and only the one on vista doesnt work? the css is here: body,td,br{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; } .menu1{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#8F8F8F; text-decoration:none} .input{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#616161; text-decoration:none} .menu2{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#A7A6A9; text-decoration:none} .text1{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#888888; text-decoration:none} .text2{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#797979; text-decoration:none} .blue{font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#327195; text-decoration:none} seems like theres very little there to me

ok, i have made a website using a template. it uses a 'browser safe' font (tahoma) and i want to know why it shows up differently on different PC's i can understand different browsers but not pc's? (all 4 PC's i tried it on have the font installed) below is the PC which is running XP ie8 also works on ie7 perfectly on XP Next is the screenshot of the Vista PC running ie7 (ignore all the silly borders lol thats just WindowBlinds) Then the vista PC running safari: Then finally, google chrome: Any ideas?

all sorted, ive converted it all to individual pages

i will probably do that then, i just quite liked the idea of not refreshing the menu/background everytime a new page is loaded. which image is pointing at the c: drive?

ideally i wanted to use an iframe so theat the ad banner doesn't restart itself on every page. the site can be found here: FernEng.com

ok, i have a HTML page with a normal menu of buttons which are linked to an iframe, when a button is clicked the page is displayed in the iframe. It all works perfectly, flicking through pages BUT when you use the browser back button THEN click a link it opens in a new window rather than the iframe. heres the code im using... <iframe scrolling="auto" width="792" height ="469" src="home.swf" FRAMEBORDER="0" id="frame1" name="frame1"> </iframe> <td width="144" height="435" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"><p align="right"><a href="weld_trial.htm" target="frame1"><img src="images/advert.gif" width="141" height="130" border="0"></a><a href="home.swf" target="frame1" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image14','','buttons/button_home_down.gif',1)"><img src="buttons/button_home_up.gif" name="Image14" width="140" height="39" border="0" align="top"><br> </a><a href="special_offers.htm" target="frame1" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image12','','buttons/button_offers_down.gif',1)"><img src="buttons/button_offers_up.gif" name="Image12" width="140" height="35" border="0"> any ideas? thanks in advance
