Apologies for this 'how do I' question

[Howiej]

I have this site that uses css & php.

There is one central column that contains all the content, either side of this is blank space. I decided that i'd put adsense on the 'blank space' on both sides.
So far so good (using safari & firefox).

The problem is when visitors are using IE. The two (L & R) advert colums eat into the central space where all the content is.

I used the div = absolute to position them and I think this is the probem.

My other problem (yeah I know :) ) is that the guy who built my site has vanished of the face of the earth. My skills are xtremely limited but I would really like to fix this so I can add more content and market the site.

Any suggestions please?

Your site would look better if you used a 2 col format. At 800x600 3 cols is going to be very busy.

Also consider using one or two of the box ads and inserting it into the center col.

Looks fine to me in IE. Were you able to get it fixed? Also, I was just looking through the source of your document and I found this...


</body>
</html>

<div class="desc">
<h1 >Welcome To Collectablefish.com!</h1>
<div class="description">

You might want to move that...

</body>
</html>

part to the end of your document (not in the middle).

Hello, Howiej.
If your site is still small, you should consider a general reorganization of it, leaving out absolute positioning and focusing on Internet Explorer. That is my recommendation as, in my opinion, absolute positioning and the use of other browsers will only bring you trouble if, as you said, your capabilities are limited. Maybe a complete overhauling is out of your reach, in which case you should hire someone to do it. Take care, however, that the person will not vanish in the air.
All the best.
