I just did a redesign to my entire site (www.sbhonline.com) and have heard from some users (seems to be Mac users so far - one using IE and Netscape 4.77) that there are some formatting problems with my header. It appears to be on top of the forum rather than pushing down the forum so, for example, google ads are on top of the lists of posts. (This is difficult for me to fix because I am not experiencing the problem).

This is the code for my header and I would GREATLY appreciate any advice:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>St. Barts Insiders' Guide: Experience St. Barts From the Inside</title>

You need to go through all the script in your header and clean it up. Sometimes you use quotes, like height="80" and sometimes you don't and it's that kind of inconsistancy that some browsers have trouble with. You're leaving out the quotes on so many properties that I'd have to completely rewrite your header for you to point them all out.

You also have a double closing tag here:

Code
 <tr> <br /><td height=60 background="http://www.sbhonline.com/Muted/Background.jpg" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0></td></td><br /></tr><br /> 


Notice the double </td> and the cellspacing and cellpading properties are prime examples of missing quotes...

There is body content above the <body> opening tag.

Also, if that's your header, should you really have a closing html and body tag?
