Roy and dorayme,
Oops... was a typo with Ariel originally being
used instead of Arial
;-)
No image for you Roy? Can't work out what the
problem is. I've replaced the image with an image
in a table (Can't beat 'em join 'em... then again
I'm not such a purist that I can't appreciate the
use of tables sometimes ;-)), the replacement
means that the banner is the right size but the
image isn't visible still. Just can't work it out
at all tbh.
Any ideas?
Dom
