insterted a feedback form, but it has moved the menu bar at the side down quite a bit can anyone help.wanted everything on the left moved up
With such a basic, simple page; you should really re-write the code for the site.
Is this from some sort of template or something?
Since the form is inside a table cell, then I can only assume you've got a simple table problem.
I'm sorry, but the code under the hood of that page is a train wreck. I think you'd gain a lot if you spent some time learning html. Some basics should fix it, so do a google search and do some studying.

I'm pretty sure I have the answer to your problem, but I definitely agree with MrStitch 100%. As a quick fix, you just need a valign="top" inside the <td> tag containing your left-side menu. Most browsers default to centering the content vertically in a table cell. Otherwise, structure your code a lot better and it would be much easier to find problems. Try some HTML tutorials to help you get a better understanding of what you're working with.
guys thanks for you help, im more about SEO so using dreamweaver just to update info, thought ill put a contact page up
sorry to be a pain but im still not sure where to put valign="top" bit
when you say the under the hood stuff is this the CSS stuff thats train wreck
i know a company was paid to do it
any more help would be great as I am doing it quite blind
You'll need to learn how to edit your code with a text editor.
First thing you can do, is go to the page in question. Then, right-click on the page, and choose 'view source' or 'view page source' (something like that).
A new window should open up, and you'll see a whole truck load of code.... very messy.
This is the exact code we're talking about.
Now, go to google and search for an html text editor. I use Notetab Light, but you could just use windows notepad if you really felt like it.
Then you'll need to familiarize yourself with the code for a bit. I recommend starting here - http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/
Once you understand the tags, how they function, and what not, simply edit the code and upload the newly saved file to your hosting account. Re-load the page in your browser to make sure it worked properly.
I suppose I could spell out the answer for ya..... but you really should learn this.

OK, learning HTML without dreamweaver (or any other WYSIWYG editor) is the first step in SEO.
In your source (that Mr S has told you how to find) you need to edit this line (approx line 304)<td colspan="5" background="FImages/Index_r5_c1.jpg"><table width="242" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" align="right">
and change it to<td colspan="5" background="FImages/Index_r5_c1.jpg" valign="top"><table width="242" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" align="right">
Some other points
find out what a 'list' is, rather than putting each link in a new table cell, put them as list elements
get rid of the auto scroll thing; it's not as useful as you think [in fact, it makes usability worse]
long term - get a css redesign done [work out how to do it your self, or hire someone to do it]
Sheesh Northie... I was gunna make him work for it, and earn his wings.
Then you come along "It's ok baby. Did you fall down go boom?"

Hi, I'm just a random visitor here but I was in your shoes once and also quickly realized that no matter how cool the wysywig editor (dreamweaver) is you just HAVE to be able to read your html to fix stuff sometimes. However, you don't have to leave Dreamweaver to to it - just click on the button that says <>Code (when you're editing a page you will see three view buttons - one is code, one is split and one is design - split helped me to learn a lot of html in the beginning because I could see the code behind the design at the same time. Good luck!
THANKS SO MUCH
I can understand most stuff its just all the extra 'under the hood stuff' that really confuses me,
im scared about deleting some of it and it messing up.
Many thanks
Ill keep revising it this weekend
really grateful
