hi, im afraid im not real coder know a few simple bits and peices but thats it and hence me needing help!
problem is ive made a basic site template through the basic html i know and either trawling the web for turtorials or in the case of the drop down menu modifying existing code to suit, however.......
the site works as it should in firefox, apart from some minor image adjustment the problem is with ie the dropdown menu is placed to the far right and the links dont work on it, ive tried to fix but with no success hence me posting here.
site as it appears in firefox:
site as it appears in internet explorer:
the green highlight shows where the dropdown menu should be also is the problems of the two side images being placed over the top of the banner in internet explorer although at this point that does not concern me so much
code used, blue is the dropdown menu code i pickup up from some turtorial site, cant remember where

[COLOR=blue]<!--
function land(ref, target)
{
lowtarget=target.toLowerCase();
if (lowtarget=="_self") {window.location=loc;}
else {if (lowtarget=="_top") {top.location=loc;}
else {if (lowtarget=="_blank") {window.open(loc);}
else {if (lowtarget=="_parent") {parent.location=loc;}
else {parent.frames[target].location=loc;};
}}}
}
function jump(menu)
{
ref=menu.choice.options[menu.choice.selectedIndex].value;
splitc=ref.lastIndexOf("*");
target="";
if (splitc!=-1)
{loc=ref.substring(0,splitc);
target=ref.substring(splitc+1,1000);}
else {loc=ref; target="_self";};
if (ref != "") {land(loc,target);}
