Hey,

Any reason why you get this horrible horizontal scrolling on this page, I've had a look in the code and can't see a reason why it does it, it's using the same code as the other pages, and they don't give scrolling!

Any advice would be appreciated as it's driving me mad!

Thanks!

There are a number of problems with your HTML, although I don't know which is causing this:

You have a body tag in the middle of the page
You have unclosed tags
You have a table which is 600 pixels wide (maybe that's too big?)

The coding irregulaties are how I code, I've never used tags, just something I've never done to be honest!

The body tag is probbably parsed from a .php file somewhere, I'll find it sometime, but the problem was defo the 600 table, is now fixed though, is marked as a % now.

Thanks for the help though, prevented me from going insane!

It's a bad habit to get into, not using tags... It's not standard compliant, and some browsers (particularly NS) get confused by too many tags and no tags.
