Looks nice,

Some small remarks, Englisch -> English. In your footer you have two words combined "2007American". Adress -> Address

If you choose "Mustang te koop" and select the "1967", your menu and picture shifts left. The menu touches the main. The styling is then changed. Until you select the "1967" the "Mustang te koop" is show as H-something. After pressing the photo, it gets a ">" in front of the menu.

Two images, 01.jpg is when entering the site, 02.jpg is after pressing "Mustang te koop", "Mustang 1967 Coupe", which points to a page called "Mustang 1965".

Ronny

P.S. I now see that all content shifts left, causing the menu to touch the main-box. Also the content in the content-area goes left.

TweeMeterPeter,

if you choose greybox or lightbox as your template for Album, this is the behaviour. You should only make sure that the two folders with the template names are completely open "777" for rights.

I think that under Album, there is the folder template/db/greybox  and the same for lightbox. Give these full rights and the transparant layer is openening the picture.

Nice layout ... but you should check template once again. It's not xhtml valid. There are too much errors and warnings. Please look here

in your case there's a few things you can do.

1. make sure all images have alt text (e.g.
2. clean up the copied & pasted html from microsoft office, removing invalid office-specific tags and moving formatting/layout to css.
3. properly close tags such as (e.g. this is a paragraph)
4. fix your menu template. it's leaving links unclosed (i.e. missing >)
5. move invalid (deprecated) inline styles/formatting to css.
6. there's some images missing the closing  />

Thank you all for the tips..great.

But what i don't understand is that  these errors:

Error Line 56 column 74: unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES.
...1/~american/index.php?page=Mustang-te-koop" Mustang te koop

are made by the menu is use :

{else}
url}"{if $node->accesskey != ''} accesskey="{$node->accesskey}"{/if}{if $node->tabindex != ''} tabindex="{$node->tabindex}"{/if}{if $node->titleattribute != ''} title="{$node->titleattribute}"{/if}{if $node->target != ''} target="{$node->target}"{/if}{$node->none} {$node->menutext}

I can't change the start-tag her can i ?

BTW the url has changed to http://85.92.128.91/~american/  I'am waiting for a new domain name for my client

the menu links are missing a closing > after the href.

insert a ">" (without the quotes) before the

Well, instead on working on the errors, i found a big problem with IE6..

A friend of mine uses that old browser and my site looks very bad, the whole menu is shuffled   :-[

I'am not the greatest css writer, but i search on the net , and i think it has something to do with floating.

Is there anyone who can helping me to fix my css sheet?

menu looks fine here on ie6 (sp1) on winxp. the only difference (ie6 vs firefox2) is the spacing between the 'active' menu item and adjacent menu items. on firefox, there's equal space top & bottom, but ie only has the spacing on the bottom (see pic).
