Hi,


Up until now I have been using wysiwyg editors to work on my website and they have really mangled the code. I am trying to get the text from my main container to begin at the top of the page but it seems to start 10-30 cm down the page. When I used wysiwyg editors I often had this problem and it could always be solved by adding lots of breaks at the end of my text (or lots more text) but now that's not even working. I would really appreciate it if someone could have a quick scan of the code for my page and see if they can pick out anything that's wrong..

I don't suppose you have a link to the page online, do you? Or a test version (sans sensitive content)?
Apart from the overuse of nested layout tables, the missing include sections really don't help in understanding what is going on here; seeing the page as it is delivered in its final state to a server would help out a lot.

Hi Ronald,

Yes, I do have a link to the page online; it is
http://www.viewfromthemirror.com/woe2.shtml

I am not sure about the sans sensitive content as I am not sure what this is.

Apologies for not being more help and thankyou for replying,
