Help with my website please gents.

HI all, a little bit of help required please.

I have built a small website for the swim school that my wife and I run, very basic, (the website not the school

) but it does the job.

I used dreamweaver to build the site, and personally I am very happy with the result, as 3 weeks ago I had no idea about webdesign at all. I am all self taught, probably very obvious when you see the site.

The site is here

The only thing that is annoying me is when you view the main home page there is a blue bar running across the screen from left to right just underneath the title logos and name etc, on this page it is a thick bar.
When ever you click on one of the page links on the left and move to another page that blue bar becomes much smaller in height.

If I open the two pages in dreamweaver the properties of the bar appear the same, so what am I missing???

I would like the bar to be the larger size on the other pages.

The index page is seperate from the other pages on the site which are built off a main template page.

Obviously any other comments on anything that could be improved, and what you think of the site in general would be very much appreciated.

I've checked and double checked all the row heights etc but they steadfastly refuse to budge from being the same, or at least that is what it appears. I am pretty sure I am missing something really simple but just can't put my finger on it.

iCraig what is the problem with using tables?

That was what a mate sugested was the easiest wasy to start.

Why are they a mistake and what would be ther better way of doing it??

Thanks for the quick fix Lagz, I tried what you said, but i found somethging that seemed a bit odd.
I found the part on the main index page with the large bar then looking on the template for the other pages I found the part for the small bar, but the height and width and colour etc were all the same. :confused:

If I then look at the code for the other pages, where it pulls up the template the height (as you showed) is different but the code is greyed out and dreamweaver won't allow me to change it.

I guess this is one of those bugs iCraig was on about.

I am not really wanting to get into webdesign as anything serious, we just wanted a small little site so that our customers can get a few bits of basic info about who we are where we are etc.

Is there a quick way of converting this to CSS stylee or do I have to start from scratch all over again and try to learn something completely different, a bit annoying as I haven't even got my head around this sort of stuff yet!!!!

Otherwise thanks for all the advice guys.
