Well since the last time i posted this site ive done a good bit of work to it and now theres some content in there making it look a bit healthier, but ive come across a problem with my footer in ie it sits fine but in ff on the "Arts and Culture" page it over laps the bottom of my content div.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Im also not too happy with the menu spacing while i think about it but if i remove the line breaks it just merges into one big looking block of text

Your using absolute positioning on it, so can't do too much without changing that.

Try a list for your menu.
 
I know which is why i find it really weird that ff managed to interperate an exact pixel measurement differently to ie, i tried using position bottom but it just stuck it under my logo, any advice?
The menu is a list as far as im aware or am i missing something?
 
Most of your troubles are cause because of the way you laid out you html.

Menu at the bottom of the code etc.
Correct that and I am sure you'll have a better time.

Sorry, I admit I didn't look at you coding the first time, just went on the fact you were using line breaks.
 
I had a feeling my upside down coding would cause me problems at some point :( thanks for the help il see how it goes
 
Things like this seem bananas to me.

Code: 
<a name="top"></a>
<a href="http://www.tommiboy.com/arts.html"><img src="arts_files/head.jpg" alt="City of Wolverhampton coat of arms: Out of Darkness Cometh light, City of Wolverhampton Tourist Information"></a>

Why not,

Code: 
<a href="arts.html" name="top"><img src="arts_files/head.jpg" alt="City of Wolverhampton coat of arms: Out of Darkness Cometh light, City of Wolverhampton Tourist Information" /></a>

Also

Code: 
</a><a href="#top">Return to the top</a>

Why the </a> at the front?

Maybe keeping your div ids simplier too, eg header, menu, content, footer.

Would help too =)

In answer to your first bit because im a noob :o this is my first hand coded site so ive not been going for the most efficient way of doing things, your 2nd part i cannot find anywhere in my code i take it that was on the arts page?
 
ive added you on msn, but my connection makes chatting on msn a pain in the backside, well i rearranged my code and its now looking crackin without any position: absolute in sight :D cheers, my only problem now is getting that menu looking half decent without resorting to line breaks
