newbie question
Alan Hunter
When I view http://www.ramblingwebgirl.com/ in IE V6 the top banner
(black with "The World Through My Eyes" written on it) does not show,
but does when viewed in Mozilla Firefox V0.8.

I'd start by validating the HTML, I like this online validator (results
below):
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.ramblingwebgirl.com/
I'd check the CSS also:

You might also look into using CSS for a 3 column layout and avoiding
using a table to layout the site:

CSS Validator shows one error:

Please, validate your XML document first!
Line 1
Column 63
White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

HTML validator shows many errors, here's one:
Line 29, column 19: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"
<tr background="http://www.ramblingwebgirl.com/images/banner.jpg">
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
document type you are using does not support that attribute for this
element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"
document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the
"Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using
vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually
fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the
document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no
supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error
message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both
allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this
attribute.
