debug it :). there is most likely a problem with your function MM_jumpMenu. Could you post a link though? Ok I looked on
http://qatarsoul.com/ . I did not even see a java script function or an import, make sure that exists. Also your background music only works in ie, modify the loop. Also you did noy use a doc type and you have <!-- comments around your css for your scroll bars. The comments around your css are not neccessary, if a browser cannot read css it just ignores it, those comments are not doing anything :). But specify a doc type because when you do not do that it throws your browser into quirks mode.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
that is probably why you should use since you have an iframe.

Well i am not an expert in HTML (Maybe a beginner), so if you please can explain more :D

I tried copying the

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

In the HTML code for my site, but i had a problem.. The iframe page won't show..!!
How can i modify the loop for the sound?

Thanks for your time and effort..

I will change the loop to false, thanks

here is the iframe code:

<td width="67%" height="1" valign="top">
<p> <iframe src="news.htm" name="I1" width="98%" height="389"
marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"></iframe></td>

:D :D

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'" );
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
</script>

This was missing, it is working now.. hahaha i feel so ****...
But my hitcounter is not working now :confused:

<h5 align="center">

What kind of counter is that? Are you hosting this site off of your own server and use iis to track it or something? If the hit counter is a tracking service just get the code again. Actually a really good service is www.extreme-dm.com they are who I use for my tracking, they are also free.

I use FrontPage 2002 for creating my site.. There is an option of adding a hitcounter, and i did add it but it is not working properly.. I will go check out the site you provided to try and add a counter from there (Hope i can get it).. Thanks for your help..

One more quetion please :D

Now the drop-down menu is working but opening the link in the same page, where can i add the "_blank" page so it opens on a new page? :)

Thanks
