The hrefs are "http:/www" because this is my website and I have not
got acces to the real one yet. so this is a quick fix.
In the CSS, remove all these: ... FONT-FAMILY:
verdana,helvetica,arial;
I am told to use this font. On the contact page if you click on the
link. I am using a
<input type=text> and <textarea> If I could change the font within
these fields changed.
some websites even change the colour of the background when got
Focused.

Thanks for the ref to O'Reilly's a good ref book would help.
