Hi there,
Gosh, I haven't visited here since 2001! Well since Lissa helped me way back then when I was just learning, I have been fumbling my way with websites since then. The coding is probably a mess on all of them, but they all work and have worked for many years, so I never fix what isn't broken! LOL

But I do have something broken now and I am so sick of trying to get it to work that I have finally succumbed to asking for help.

I have created a shopping site, not an ecommerce, just affiliate referrals and although it all works fine, I have no problem with that, the problem is the front index.html
I wanted to try Yahoo site builder to make it because I wanted so many tables on it and it seemed to do the job easily, except when I published it, I seemed to have these gaping holes in the page which I couldn't get rid of in notepad.
I edited it again with Yahoo SB, but for the life of me, I don't know what's causing it to now mess up the table alignments.

My page is at www.shopat.40plus.net/index.html
My corrected (but not yet published new index page) is at www.shopat.40plus.net/specials.html

You can see the alignment problems and gaping holes are fixed now, BUT, when I try to put the NAV BAR on (the one with the 'I'd like to find search box on it from index.html), it just throws everything on the page completely out of wack.

I have spent 2 days on it and I just don't know why. It probably just needs a fresh pair of eyes if anyone can please help me with it.

The side Category and the 'I'd like to find search box' are both controlled by an automatic datafeed and one line of coding. The rest of the gradient Nav Bar and web page is cosmetic. I want to keep the nav bar, but I just can't seem to get it back into place without distorting the whole page.

So that is my question. If someone can please advise. I just can't look at it anymore! LOL

Thank you,
LadyH

P.S. I would also prefer to have wraparound text on the featured items, but I also couldn't get dreamweaver to do that for me, so I'm left with having a pic up top and text below, which doesn't really look as nice. If there is an easy way to do wraparound, I'd like to know!

there ^ is your problem. ysb is awful at creating/editing webpages. there usually is no fix for the pages. it is much easier and faster to start with a fresh blank page and stay away from ysb.

No way..I've spent way too much time on this page as it is. If that's all the advice I'm getting then it can stay ugly LOL.
Thanks,
H

it may not be all the advice. someone may have a different solution for you. i've just spent too much time trying to fix ysb pages before and just scrapping them in the end anyways. hopefully someone comes along to help you further on your quest.
