I am not out to offend, and I fully intend on fixing every item that is bad.
Here is a web site that illustrates what I want to do.
http://www.fhoil.com/home_heating/ The site appears to me that it is built
800x600 and looks the same on my display at either setting, except for the
obvious side margins. While I understand that this design doesn't appeal to
everyone, it does fit my needs. Someone suggested earlier that I create a
<DIV> set to 800, that is what I have tried to do. When I say I still need
help, it is help making the 800px wide <div> or whatever it takes. The best
I can gather from the posts is that the "bad" code is causeing the <div> tag
not to display properly. So that is what I will remedy now, I will update my
menu system to a different style.
I believe most of my "faulty code" are caused by my menu system, which I
derived from this tutorial
http://www.isitebuild.com/serversideincludes.htm. I will be using an
earlier suggestion to make horizontal menus via css
