cheers, the pale backgrounds i know about... actually trying to fix the now. its because i use png transparency which isn't supported by ie (<)7. bit of a pain though cause i'm loosing the quality of image when i change it to a gif!!! might have to create a neat background i think?

and the hr will be a diff color because once again firefox, opera don't recognise the color adn therefore show it as black so i can't fix that other than make it black in ie and poeple suggested coloring it. might change it, but i don't think it is that big a deal.

thnks again mate
