Need some quick help with HTML

Hey guys; I'm working on getting my site formatted correctly and have a problem. It is showing up perfectly in Internet Explorer, but when I preview in Firefox, there are a couple of issues with things lining up, etc. I was wondering if someone that is proficient with dreamweaver/html could give me a hand with a couple of small issues on the site - I can pay you for your time (probably won't take more than 5 minutes for someone who knows their way around HTML ). Thanks guys, if you could just PM me or post here that would be great - I really appreciate it! (I'm tearing my hair out right now... )

All the best,
Jonathon Locke

    G`day Jonathon,

    I don`t know dreamweaver but I am good at looking at code
    and seeing little errors ... maybe I can view source on your page
    and spot something ... PM the link if you want unless someone
    else steps up with dreamweaver experience quicker.

    Ok I went to sleep on it, and worked on it a for a couple hours and have it nearly how I want it. I do have one issue, however - I can't get the header and footer to touch the main sales letter. Take a look here:

    If anyone can help me out and figure out how to get the header and footer to blend into the white middle section, I would be incredibly thankful!

    All the best,

    If you are using tables--click "table properties"-look at your "show boarder" area.
    There will be a blank space showing numbers for the boarder in pixels--set to "0".
    Hope that helps,

    To close the gap, take out the nonbreaking space in the content cell or lose the cell padding. Remember though, if you do this, when you put in your content it will be pretty flush with the images. Try putting in your content first and then adjusting the layout by eye.

    [Edit: Glenn's advice will lose the borders...]

      Hmm... I added the field 'border="0"' to the middle table, and that closed the gap about 1 pixel, but there is still 1 pixel of gap left. Taking the cell padding off doesn't help either :confused:. I'm stumped guys, any additional help is appreciate (and thanks for the previous responses!)

      All the best,

      True if he is using tables, but no biggie. His template probably has em built in. He can easily change em back too. I purposely loose my boarders on most sites I do. But you are correct.

    Ok, I think I see what is happening. Do this:
    1. click on "table properties"
    2. click on "background color"
    3. choose "white"

    The problem is that you have "let page color show through". This is showing your background color (which is dark blue) to show through as boarders.

    That should do the trick if I am correct in what I think the problem is.

    Edit: if above doesn't work, then undo it. Then click "table properties", "cell properties", "background color", then "choose white". (The only difference is going to cell properties). If this doesn't work, then I am stuck--LOL

    You've got it in two tables and the second one has this value cellpadding="20"

    Put it in one table using these table attributes and values: cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"

    Then in the cell where you are going to put your content, wrap it in a div and set margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;

    Example:
    <table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="760">
    <tr>
    <td align="center"><img src="htmlhelp_files/headerslicedsmaller.jpg" usemap="#Menu" border="0" height="200" width="760"></td>
    <tr><td bgcolor="white"><div style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;">Put content here</div></td></tr>

    <tr><td align="center"><img src="htmlhelp_files/footer-resized.jpg"></td></td></tr>
    </tr>
    </table>
