first, try clean code also ... html and css is not hard, you just have to know all tags and attributes so that you don't remain at the mercy of the wysiwyg program you are using.

second ... i think your problem was the cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" in the table tag (only glancing at that hard to read code you gave us) ... read what they are for and use them properly.
third ... i don't uderstand why you are using two tables to achieve the box that you use as header ...

what i really want to say is ... lern html and css ... it is very easy (by easy i mean the quantity of information requiered is small).

Thanks, It worked.

I do know HTML but its so much easier to do it in a editor :P, I mean I can't remember every single colour refence. I not really a programmer guy, im more of a designer.

I can understand the clean-up of code, I do see alot of useless HTML.

Anyways, I will take what you said very seriously, and think about my actions.

Oh yeah, if you wanna see it: http://www.steel-fish.com/ickie/
