Little help please.

I am trying to get the left and right coloum to go below the title (idealy I would like it to stay above the blank space but go below the image, but doubt that's possible).
I can't seem to do it with z-index except for z-index:-1; , which only works with IE (for me. tested on IE6, Mozilla 1.0, Opera 5.11 & 6, Netscape 6)

(btw, the css source may have a few 'errors' in it as my mind is blank and it was my last desperate attempt)

Hope you can understand what I mean

Try raising the z-index of the title to a higher number, so you can define the columns below that but above 1.

It doesn't change anything :(
Please help, I'm stuck.
(Currently trying a different way of formating the page and it ain't working very well)

perhaps you need to play with the 'clear' and 'float' properties...

try 'clear: both;' on those side things.

If you clear:both your sidebars, make sure to float:none your main part. Clear is very quirky when interacting with unfloated parts, and different browsers do different things.

This isn't really about your CSS problems...I just wanted to comment that you may want to change those little lines around your logo. No offense, but it makes me dizzy.

Woah, I forgot about this post. My site has changed a lot since I posted it, I dumped CSS out for the layout of the site and went back to tables for the sake of ease, added a bit of colour and added a few php scripts (though you won't be able to tell what they do).
You can check it out here, though it is still nowhere near completed.http://mrmagooba.8bit.co.uk/-/testing%20php/indextest.php

Looks really cool (like it will be any way) I really do want to learn php.

Thanks.
I learnt most of my PHP/MySQL skills from a module when I was at college. A book that I would recommend, as my college did to me, would be:
PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson - ISBN No. 0-627-31784-2
They teach you a wide range and have a CD with it which has examples of what they are doing for each chapter. Nothing better for learning then to go through the source of what your shown to help understand how it works. If you download the latest NON-BETA version of Apache (http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_1.3.26-win32-x86-no_src.msi), MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.23/mysql-3.23.52-win.zip), and PHP (http://www.php.net/get_download.php?df=php-4.2.3-installer.exe) and go to various online tutorial sites (Google will find loads) you'll be able to try it out without going online. And if you do want to set up an online site with the use of them, I recommend Portland (http://www.portland.co.uk) which offers free hosting with PHP and MySQL support.
If you need help installing them, I can send you some MS Word documents that will tell you what to do. Just ask in this thread with the email address you want them sent to and they'll be yours in a jiffy.
