Not sure if this is the right forum, but I need help prety fast!

Right, Alot of people keep telling me they just get a blank page when visting my site, I’ve no idea why this is happening. I’ve got an index.htm AND index.html uploaded but still some people can’t view the site?

Could you please check it out, if it works then great. If not could you give me some suggestions?

<BODY>
<body background=“http://www.thebig7.co.uk/images/backg.jpg”>
<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

no idea. but why are there so many breaks in there, you ever heard of divs?

Try closing your TITLE tag. And you have 2x BODY tags.
Maybe that could have something to do with it??
Hope that works :wink:

ok i completly re-did the html to look like…

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=iso-8859-1”>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type=“text/css”>
<!–
body {
background-image: url(backg.jpg);
}
.style1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #0000CC;
}
–>
</style></head>

<body>
<div align=“center”>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src=“Logo.jpg” width=“425” height=“119” border=“0” usemap="#Map"></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<map name=“Map”>
<area shape=“rect” coords=“104,83,183,111” href=“http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum”>

  &lt;area shape="rect" coords="226,83,309,110" href="http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum/arcade.php"&gt;
  &lt;area shape="rect" coords="1,1,425,84" href="http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum"&gt;
&lt;/map&gt;

</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hey you got it working!
One thing though, you really should try working with notepad a little. It will give you a better idea of html. Instead of all those untidy P tags, you can centre the logo with a table:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(backg.jpg);
}
.style1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #0000CC;
}
-->
</style></head>
 
<body>
<table border="0" width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
	<td align="center">
<img src="Logo.jpg" width="425" height="119" border="0" usemap="#Map">
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="104,83,183,111" href="http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum">
<area shape="rect" coords="226,83,309,110" href="http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum/arcade.php">
<area shape="rect" coords="1,1,425,84" href="http://www.thebig7.co.uk/forum">
</map>
 
</body>
</html>
