i've been told i have to reupload it with ascii transfer but that didn't do anything, tried a million times, cocking around with all the transfer settings in smartFTP.

i included a screenshot of how it looks like in firefox.

You're going to have to give more info than that. A link would be helpful, can't troubleshoot a screenshot. Also how was this created, did you code by hand or use a WYSIWYG? Is it .html, .php, .asp, etc?

Unfortunately i am at work so I can't test the site in FF or opera (hopefully someone else here can) But I looked at your code and there is no document declaration. The top of your html document should look similar to the code below.

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">

You have 48 validation errors. I would start by fixing at least most of these. My guess though is the fact that you didn't declare the doc type. Standard compliant browsers such as FF and Opera are probably having trouble figuring out what to do with it.

Thanks a bunch man. I declared the doc type with the code you put and it shows the site but the layout is a bit ****ed now.. I used very basic old html though, not xhtml.
