i feel real stupid, i've been designing web pages for two years, and i cant get this one to work...i'm running a js nav bar, and then i tried to
divide the document into to columns, left one 25% of page and right one 75% of page. they are all about 2 inches indented from the left....
here's the code (you cant access the site....sorry):

You appear to have two sets of body tags for a start which you need to rectify.

Not to mention..

<tr><td><p><br><hr color="#3D72A4" width="300" align="left"></p></td></tr>
<tr><strong><td</strong>
'

Also, it wouldn't hurt to organize you source so that it is a lot easier to follow.. Something like..

<tr>
  <td>
    <p>
      <br>
      <hr color="#3D72A4" width="300" align="left">
    </p>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr><strong>
  <td</strong>

Um, maybe try taking out the extra body tag? That would be a start Wink

You have :

&lt;script language="javascript1.2" src="custom.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;
<em><strong><html><body><table width="25%" align="left" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" valign="top">
<tr align="left"><td width="100px" align="left"><a
href="http://kylekoncepts.hypermart.net/public/home.html"><img
src="http://kylekoncepts.hypermart.net/graphics/logo.jpg" border="0"
alt="Kyle Koncepts"></a></td><tr></table></body></html></strong></em>
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language="javascript1.2" src="style.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
<strong>  </HEAD>
  <BODY></strong>
'

The part I have in bold and italics there seems really out of place -
why a full extra webpage enclosed in script tags in the header ????

It would also help if we knew exactly what was going wrong here -
when I load that page up I don't see an obvious problem, but I don't
have access to your scripts either which could be causing a problem...

Sorry, I edited my post there. Another idea would be to try laying your page out in one big table instead of relying on the align attributes to set things up.
