don't forget that other missing

the w3c.org validator is your friend

It's worked!

Thank you so very much 'busy' - I didn't realise a stray gap like that could have such an effect! I'm not very experienced with this ole HTML thang!

Many thanks to all for your help.

Best wishes,

looks like you're missing a tag somewhere, have you run the index through the validator? if not I'd suggest you do that next as it looks like it's missing an end table tag somewhere, or could just be you missed a 'colspan=...' out or not enough colsums in it.

I had a quick look at your code (really to early for this kinda thing), did find your missing a tag in the copyright section, but run it through the validator.
You also have a lot wasted tables usage, the shim's are a bad idea, use the old and list aliments for the contents (as they are a list)

think I found the fault, just about the copyright table you have:

note the gap in colspan

Thanks for your input guys - I've still had no luck righting the discrepancy.

The url is

If you click on any other page on the site you'll see how the headers and footers etc should be appearing.

I'm baffled!

Many thanks again,

Your home computer is run differently than a server, so the displays can be different.
Your computer will usually work in quirks mode unless otherwise set, so in other words it guesses what you want, where as the server has a different level of quirkiness.

Also when you upload new stuff you might still actually be seeing the old one - server cache. Most web page things get cached twice, once by your computer and once by your ISP's, a normal 'refresh' wont usually refresh both caches so a server refresh (ctrl F5) is often needed.

As for the alignment problem, can you show us the URL? much easier than guessing the problem, but usually the align= is in the wrong place, align="center" in a TD will only align the contents, in a TR will only align the row, in the TABLE tag will align the whole table. Two 50% width tables side by side will go underneath of eachother unless cellpadding, cellspacing and all body margins are set to 0

Sounds like a weird problem. Normally, when I upload a file, then check it and the old one is there, not the new one, I find that I've accidentally uploaded it in the wrong place. Is that a possibility?

I guess the main question is whether the remote file you're viewing has code that matches up with the local file you're viewing. I would start by checking that, if you haven't already.
