    Hey hey, me again, yes, technically awkward.

    Well I've just put a live weather box on my site:

    http://www.4crb.com/home.html

    It keeps sitting below the other box... how can I make it sit beside it??

    :D thank you for your help!

    Try a table with two cells
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>motor mouth code here</td>
    <td> weather code here</td>
    </tr>
    </table

          </tr> 
        </tbody> 
      </table><br />
    I put this code on my site to see how it looks. http://www.bmcoll.com/ebooks/test.html

    I will remove it after you have time to take a look

    You are a Saint.:D I'm trying to make the changes now...

    ....

    Ok so that's great when you load it on the page... but when it's in my preview window in dreamweaver, that coding knocks my page all over the shop. Why is this? *scared to save in case I can't get it back and it doesn't work* :confused:

    Thanks

    Technicallyawkward. :D

    Save a copy before you make the changes. I am sorry I have never used dream weaver I code by hand in notepad then use a script I wrote to validate it for me. I will be making the script available on my site some time today.

    The preview window in all wysiwyg editors doesn't always display the preview properly. It's just the nature of the beast. You can click File, Preview In Browser, to see how it will look.

    Thanks fellas. (assuming you're both guys)

    So it's working... but the GC petrol prices aren't coming up???

    Also, for some reason the menu bar comes up blue when you scroll over it when it's coded for white... what the? It's almost like the page has mood swings because then it goes back to white...

    I dont know if your menu is css or javascript. But I suspect java. When I view the page with google chrome lt is blue then turns white on mouse over.

    Just two guys.
    If you want it white take a look in the SpryMenuBarVertical.css file see the code change below:
    Your banner code is messed up - causing problems on the page.
    There is a problem with this files' location - check into it or reload it.
    You are using an old version of DW and spry assets. Search out in Adobe for the free "Spry Assest" upgrade. It will fix several problems. You can tell it is old as your code is concerned with old versions of browsers. The code you have showing fixed those problems, but now it is causing problems as the newer browsers are fixed. Example in your index.html
    And in the
    I have Adobe Design Premiun CS3 and updated with
    Spry_P1-6-1-updater_022508.mxp
    Spry_P1-6-1-022508.zip
    Just to give you an idea what to look for. Do not use http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/ as it is for beta release. Try updating through the program. See if this helps.
