I have just built my first website and upon viewing it in Internet explorer 7, everything is fine. However, if I use Internet explorer 6 one of the pages is all messed with none of the graphics appearing. I find this strange because I use the same graphics on a different page and yet they show, also all the menus are messed up. Any ideas?
Help website viewing problems

<h2><em>Semester 1</em></h2>
<p> </p>
<h4>Week 1 - October 11th 2007</h4>
<p>Computers have revolutionised industry in a vast variety of ways, from robots on production lines, to CAD software for designing such things as aircraft, automobiles etc. It is therefore plausible to reason that computer programming forms a vital link, in that programmers must listen to the needs and requirements of industry and create a software solution which incorporates facilities and means of completing tasks with efficiency and reliability.<br />
*********** Engineers have many transferable skills which can be applied to a computer programmer, these are primarily; problem solving skills. Computer systems have grown in importance and also dependence, that is to say that nowadays many people depend on computers such that they would find it impossible to complete certain tasks without them. <br />
*********** The programming industry provides a sturdy foundation for a career in industry in the sense that there will always be a need for computer programmers and with the increased implementation of computer systems into modern day industry, the importance of a computer programmer can only increase. Job security is not something that should be taken for granted in other industries, especially in an age where many companies are deciding to relocate to off-shore premises where wages and running costs are significantly lower than in the UK.</p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 2 - October 18th 2007</h4>
<p>As the number of people studying for a degree increases, so does the importance of increasing one’s appeal to potential employers. *In many disciplines the market for graduate placements has become more selective in nature due to the sheer number of candidates. It is imperative to utilise the second year of a degree by beginning to plan for any future career, this will greatly aid the process of finding a graduate job, even though the second year is somewhat of a transition year. <br />
*********** Employers are now able to specifically seek job candidates with a degree being the minimum requirement; this is true for as high as 60% of employers. Problem solving abilities, creativity and team working are key skills which must be present in a successful candidate.<br />
*********** Employers want to see that the candidate has specific knowledge relating to the relevant job sector. This helps to demonstrate to the employer that the employee has a genuine interest and passion for the sector which they wish to work in.*********** <br />
*********** Internships provide an excellent opportunity to gain much sort after experience within a given discipline. Whilst many employers greatly value the importance of a degree, this does not mean that they undervalue the importance of past experience. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 3 - October 25th 2007</h4>
<p>Leadership is an important attribute which one must look to utilise throughout their career. Many aspects are covered under the term leadership and it is these which a good leader must endeavour to recognise and attain. <br />
*********** In a career such as engineering there will be many instances whereby it is necessary to work in a team on a given project, in these cases it is vital that the team function effectively. In order to ensure that this is so, a leader must be appointed to the team who is able to supervise the team members and help influence each member to co operate and achieve their set targets. <br />
*********** Leadership qualities are most needed to ensure that a diplomatic attitude can be taken to a situation where disputes may have arisen. Many team members will look to a leader to provide them with motivation and enthusiasm to excel in the project task and ensure that the outcome is of the highest quality. <br />
*********** There are various types of leader. Firstly, the autocratic leader who tends to be rather dominant and seldom considers the views of others. These are people who are strong minded and determined. Secondly, there are democratic leaders, such a leader tends to consult others for advice and encourages group members to participate in decision making. Lastly, there is the laissez faire leader who is somewhat laid back and allows a high degree of freedom of action by the followers. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 4 - November 1st 2007</h4>
<p>As engineers, it is imperative that one is able to communicate thoughts and ideas effectively, using a variety of tools and medium. Delivering a good presentation can be the difference between success and failure when it comes to a career. There are likely to be many situations whereby an individual will be pitted against others who have excelled in a given field, and in order to ensure that you are chosen for the role it may be required that you display your knowledge in the form of a presentation. <br />
*********** A good presentation will encapsulate the audience and keep them interested in what is being discussed. The use of appropriately designed slides goes a long way to ensure that the presentation is delivered in the correct manner and that important points can be conveyed to the audience. In addition to this, time keeping is another aspect which the presenter must be strictly aware of. If the presentation is rushed and too short it may be so that ideas are not communicated and the presentation may have an amateurish impression associated with it. <br />
*********** A presentation gives an individual the opportunity to display their knowledge on a subject and to educate the audience on their understanding of this subject, in an easy, efficient and effective manner.</p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 5 - November 8th 2007</h4>
<p>Motivation is what drives a person to succeed and achieve tasks and goals which they may have set themselves or been set. Goal setting is a vital aspect of motivation, it is important that one assess what motivates them, why they have chosen a particular path and what they hope to achieve in doing so. Motivation can be described as the desire to achieve this goal. <br />
*********** In a company it is the duty of managers to motivate subordinates with the view to ensure they excel within the company, which will benefit the company overall. People feel motivated to succeed when they have a sense of achievement, this in effect will drive individuals and encourage them to progress further. Employees are likely to detest instances where they do not receive recognition for goals which they might have achieved, such a scenario will only lead to the individual in question becoming less motivated. <br />
*********** Business is an extremely competitive field with people striving to attain a top job with excellent salaries and good future prospects. Such factors add a materialistic tint to the idea of motivation nonetheless it is a real part of what drives people to success and must be recognised by companies.* People are more likely to want to achieve something if they know there is a reward waiting at the end of it. </p>
<h4>Week 6 - November 15th 2007</h4>
<h4>Week 7 - November 22nd 2007</h4>
<p>Engineering is an extremely versatile discipline and as a result one has many options open to them upon the completion of an engineering degree. One such career path is that of research. Research and development is an important branch of industry which allows companies to design, build and test new revolutionary technologies which may have profound effects on world in which we live. Such a career is both exciting and vital in ensuring the continuation of technology.<br />
*********** Research is essentially to do with the application of known principles and the development of new products based on existing technology. The aim of a researcher is to probe in depth into fundamentals and current practice to identify innovation* and improvement of products and techniques. <br />
*********** There are many routes to a career in research whether it be through university, research organisation or a industrial research department. A successful candidate must be self motivated, display a good level of critical thinking and have an exceptional ability to analyse problems and then synthesise the answers. One must dig into the fundamentals of engineering science. *Perhaps what sets research out from other disciplines is that the candidate must be passionate about the field which they are to study. Long hours may be required, with significant periods of time spent troubleshooting problems which may remain unsolved for large periods of time. It is the passion for the subject which will drive the candidate through such scenarios and ensure that they eventually achieve there goals. </p>

<h4>Week 8 - November 29th 2007</h4>
<p>*
Remaining competitive in the increasingly global and interconnected marketplace of today means developing new ways of doing business. The process of developing these new techniques towards business are known as business transformation, this process is mainly driven by ICT. One of the leading companies in such an area is Infosys. Infosys is a multinational information technology services company.<br />
*********** Various industries are served by Infosys a few of these are as follows:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Banking & Capital markets</li>
<li>Communications media and entertainment</li>
<li>Energy, utilities and services</li>
<li>Manufacturing</li>
</ul>
<p>Infosys undertook a major initiative in the format of a research department called software engineering and technology labs. The main idea behind this department was to carry out applied research for the development of processes, frameworks and methodologies to effectively capture customer requirements and to iron out common critical issues during a project lifecycle. <br />
Infosys offer an excellent internship known as the instep programme. The internship lasts between 8 to 24 weeks, with the main focus being on the candidate being able to gain hands on experience. The candidate is faced with an opportunity to work on real life projects. This helps to make one more appealing upon leaving university as work experience is much sought after by many employers. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 9- December 6th 2007</h4>
<p>It is well documented that mankind is exhausting the earth’s resources at an alarming rate. As we continue to design, build and dispose of new technologies we are eating into many resources which are used to form the materials that products are made from.* In an age where environmental concern is of the utmost importance, it is preferred that engineers turn their attentions to utilising environmentally friendly materials. That is to say materials which can be recycled, produce little or no pollution and help to conserve vital resources. <br />
********** For many years, Aluminium has been overlooked in terms of it being used in many products such as cars and aircraft. Many engineers have opted to use materials such as steel. It is now time to turn our attentions to Aluminium, the earth is abundant with the ore required to make aluminium, it has been estimated that we have thousands of years of supply left. One of the advantages of using Aluminium is that it can be alloyed into a variety of forms, depending on whether the engineer wishes for a light, dense, strong or tough material. That is to say it is extremely versatile. <br />
*********** There are many ways to alter the properties of Aluminium, whether it be work hardening, strain ageing or heat treatment. Aluminium is a non toxic, ductile and extremely useful material. Its high corrosion resistance and excellent conductivity should make it every engineers first choice.</p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 10 - December 13th 2007</h4>
<p>Oral presentations should be constructed using PowerPoint. A topic must be selected and must be related in one way or another to engineering. The talks must last for ten minutes and be around ten slides, averaging about 1 slide per minute. Fifteen percent of the course grade will come from the oral presentation and the session will last for two hours. <br />
*********** The group project for this year engineering students is to construct a face recognition programme in Matlab using a GUI front end. The software must be able to input images and then pinpoint all of the human faces in the image by drawing a border around each of the faces. Each group must consist of 5-6 members, strictly.<br />
*********** Such projects are an excellent way of developing ones engineering potential by making the individual into a more rounded person able to cope with a variety of situations when it comes to leaving university and working in a company. Presentations will be an important part of any future career which may be undertaken and as a result it is vital to gain the necessary experience in performing such a task, at university level.<br />
*********** The group project will help to develop group skills, the delegation of tasks and co-operating with others. These are fundamental skills which any candidate must have in order to be a success in the future. These projects provide a wealth of experience.</p>

<h2><em><a name="sem2" id="sem2"></a>Semester 2</em></h2>
<p> </p>
<h4>Week 1 - January 31st 2008</h4>
<p>Many of the major players, in terms of engineering companies, are based outside of the UK and as a result it is likely that if one wishes to work in the engineering sector, it will be necessary to work for a foreign company. This means that it is important to recognise the traditions and customs of the company as their business practices may differ significantly from that of UK based companies. <br />
*********** Panasonic is a Japanese engineering company with many of their headquarters subsequently based in Japan. In a Japanese company, the employee is very much involved in the company and treated like a member of the family. There are many unique attributes when it comes to Japan and its business practices, for example it is a stable country. There is no risk of political instability or economic crises effecting business practices.<br />
*********** Japan is a well developed country who is responsible for the most cutting edge technologies available today. With regard to the varying traditions and customs in Japan as opposed to the United Kingdom, it is very uncommon to see female managers or married women who are in a position of power within a company. This is because in Japanese culture it is believed that once a woman is married, she should stay at home to look after the children. *<br />
*********** Working in another country is a fantastic prospect for any engineer and having a chance to contribute to technologies which may have a profound effect on the human race, is a somewhat enticing idea. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 2 - February 7th 2008</h4>
<p>Negotiation and assertiveness are important qualities which any manager must have in order to succeed. Assertiveness is about being decisive and know exactly what one wants, ensuring the individual gets what they want whilst respecting the needs of others. Negotiation is about comprise and agreeing with subordinates to achieve a common ground and a situation whereby all participants are agreeable.<br />
*********** Various techniques can be employed in business practice to achieve a range of outcomes. It is important that in doing so, the manager is able to carefully select which approach to take and implement in a satisfactory manner. An aggressive approach could result in people being less willing to co-operate and make others feel powerless as if they have no input into the situation. <br />
*********** Assertiveness is about being direct and avoiding preambles as these can cause confusion. It is even acceptable to repeat demands in a “broken record” fashion. Another recognised technique is to stagger ones assertiveness, this is known as “going up through the gears”. One must be increasingly firm in order for this to work. <br />
*********** A firm but comprising attitude can* be extremely effective in achieving goals. There is, however, a fine balance between the two. Appearance is another factor which must be considered along with body language. Such factors go along way to improving ones effectiveness in instructing others to achieve. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 3 - February 14th 2008</h4>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 4 - February 21st 2008</h4>
<p>Aluminium is an extremely important engineering material but this alone is not sufficient to justify extensive use of such a material. One must also note whether or not use of a given material is sustainable, that is to say, can the material meet the present demands without comprising the ability of the future. This is all to do with sustainability. <br />
*********** Sustainability is an important argument and one which is beginning to dominate many of today’s topical issues with respect to environmental concern, so much so that Governments now consider sustainability a fundamental aspect of their political philosophy. Simply recognising the need for sustainability is not enough, one must find a way to quantify sustainability and use this to formulate whether or not a particular material should be used. One approach to this is employing the use of indicators.<br />
*********** Indicators are a set of criterion by which one can measure a materials sustainability and its performance across a broad spectrum of data. These cover environmental, economic and social issues. For such a technique to be effective the indicators must fairly represent the industry, easily understood and relevant to the material being studied. An example of such an indicator would be comparing the known reserves of Bauxite at current production levels, or perhaps, source of energy used and control of emissions. These go a long way to aiding an engineer in selecting appropriate materials with respect to both the function it must perform and the effect it shall have on the environment. </p>
<p><a href="#top"><img src="MI1280.jpg" alt="" width="25" height="25" border="0" /></a></p>
<h4>Week 5 - February 28th 2008</h4>
<p>The increasing power of computers accompanied with ever increasing affordability have meant that many engineering companies are now moving away from more traditional experimental methods and focusing their attentions on computer based packages such as that offered by CD Adapco. CD Adapco is the leading global provider of full-spectrum engineering simulation (CAE) solutions for fluid flow, heat transfer and stress.<br />
*********** CD Adapco are able to create computer models of various engineering systems which enable researchers to test the system under numerous conditions and thus gauge the performance of the particular component. Whilst it does require a significant investment to implement such techniques, there can be many financial gains when it comes to reducing the number of prototypes required and thus reducing the amount of time involved in testing such devices in labs or wind tunnels. The computational fluid dynamics or CFD method compliments existing flow assessment practices whilst reducing the experimental matrix. <br />
*********** One of the fundamental challenges when dealing with CFD is that the model must describe the relevant flow process, i.e. the model must represent a real life system, within a specified accuracy. The engineers must know how far the results can be trusted. <br />
*********** When the objects have been drawn in a CAD based package, it is then required that the CAD image is linked or embedded into the CFD software such that experimental procedures can be analysed. This poses one of the greater challenges in the field. <br />
*********** CFD is an exciting field and has revolutionised the way in which researchers are able to predict the behaviour of components in an engineering environment. </p>

can you post the stylesheet as well?
btw i assume your index.html (the file you have already posted) is in the folder named web as well? if so remove all the bits before as it isn't needed. This may fix your problem btw as you have done it with images too, so remove all the c:documents and settings stuff, and just start in the same folder the posted file is in

Hey, I am confused. The bits before what? They are all in a folder named website. I am confused as the index page works fine in ie6 but when i go to other pages they dont work. Even though they are effectively constructed from the same web template, it is only the content that differs from page to page.

He means remove the "file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Adem Kemal/Desktop/web/"
Well I don't think that will make a difference, because I copied the website folder over to my memory stick and launched it from there on a computer at uni (which only had internet explorer 6) and that is when I discovered the problem. On my computer at home I have IE 7 and there are no such problems at all.

why do you think it won't cause a problem? im teling you it is as on the computer at uni there is no such folder named Adem Kemal, but that is where you are telling the browser is where stuff is, so remove everything as posted above by jdickerson and see what happens

If the page is pointing to css and images at "file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Adem Kemal/Desktop/web/"... and you copied it onto a memory stick, and transferred to a different computer... they wouldn't be in that location.... so the page would look messed up...?
Yup you hit the nail on the head, my bad. How do I change this?

If all the files are in a the same place, open a text editor of your choice. Search for "file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Adem Kemal/Desktop/web/" and replace with "".
