z-index is the order of layers on a page. It's generally not used that much from what I've seen. So something with a z-index of 5 would be on top of something with a z-index of 1.

As I said in your review thread - the reason you're having trouble with this is because it's designed to work with tables, first of all, and secondly because the graphics are just too big to fit. Make that logo smaller and you'll have no problems.

It's really strange- loads of people seem to see the footer centerd, but I don't (and I have viewed it on 3 different screens).

And what is z-index?

The only problem with the z-index is your menu will cover the logo on smaller resolutions. That would also be considered a problem in my mind.

With regards to your navigation, I can see what you're talking and I see a few ways you can "fix" this problem.

1, Reduce the size of "fusionnx.com..." so that on lower resolutions, they show up side by side.
2, Set a z-index to the navigation DIV making it higher than the "fusionnx.com..." text so it will always show up on top.
3, Combination of above.

As for the footer, it looks pretty centred to me...

I'm gonna try a combination- I'll use a table and make the images smaller

The logo and menu buttons are quite large. Even on my monitor at a high resolution, it doesn't fit. You need to design and size these graphics to fit in the smallest resolution you expect, then allow them to expand (or for graphics, the gaps between them to expand) to fill larger monitors. A large number of people still have just 800x600 resolutions. While that number is dropping, it's still significant. Try changing your own resolution - you'll get a shock.

Horizontal scrolling is generally frouned apone. A good design should be able to cope with many resolutions without breaking or requireing scroll bars. E.g. this forum site uses % widths to let the page scall to fit the users resolution. It looks ok at 800px and still looks ok at 1200 odd px.

There may be another way to fix this, but this is how I would do it.

Create a table with a width of 100%. This table will have 2 TDs. The first one has the logo in it and the other has the menu in it. Obviously you will want to align the 2nd TD on the right which will make it look exactly as it does today, except it will stop the page from getting smaller once the logo and menu meet each other.
