Could someone please advise me on this point and a secondary one?

1. My banner is correctly centered and looks fine when I veiw it from my desktop pc in both IE7 and Firefox. However, when I view my site on my laptop, the banner is all the way to the right and extends not even to the center of the monitor. I have no clue as to why or how to fix it.

2. I used the below code which is supposed to display the banner only on the homepage. That is what I want. However,the banner is displaying on all galleries and the code I used was cut and pasted directly from the guide. What could be wrong?

Thanxs





#my_banner {
display: none
width: 750px;
height: 175px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://Romanse.smugmug.com/photos/304322599_cCiEq-O.jpg) no-repeat;
}
.homepage #my_banner {
display: block;
}

    You're laptop was actually showing it correctly; You were missing a semi-colon after the first line (display: none). I added it for you, you should be all set thumb.gif

    Boy do I feel dumb! First, I SWEAR I did not change the code that you fixed! The semi-colon is in place the way it should be. However, when I modified my homepage to include text, slideshow only, when I click the link for my navbar to access the galleries, the banner is back! How can I get rid of it when I didn't change the previous code fix?

    The code was telling the banner to show on no pages at all, besides the homepage. The gallery page is technically the homepage, also. I added a line of code to not show it on the galleries page thumb.gif

    Ah ha! The ole' "add a line of code" trick! : ) At least it did vaguely occur to me that the problem was due to the fact that the gallery page was a second homepage!

    Many thanks again. Now if you can only tell me how I can get my text and slideshow to be side by side rather than vertical, I am sooo good to go its not even funny!bowdown.gif
