Hi
I have a problem where a background image scrolls when I minimise a
window. If I make the browser window smaller (horizontally) the
content stays in place but the background scrolls to the left. It is
OK vertically just horizontal scrolling.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why I feel like banging my head
against something very hard!! :)))
Thanks

Quite simply - a background image that is set not to tile in either direction will be placed in the middle of the ‘page’.
Your bg image is 1000px wide so if you reduce the width of the browser window below that then that image will still be displayed in the middle of the ‘page’ (viewing area).
If you want this bg image to stay with the content of your page then it has to become part of that page and not float behind it as a background image.

Thanks David . . . no longer banging my head against a wall!!
Another question please . . .
I have had to changed the urls but Google is picking up the old
addresses so a 404 page not found message is posted. How do I add a
redirect and can it be generic for all the old urls?

It all depends on how they have changed. Have you changed domains - or structure ie added/deleted folders - or purely actual page file names?

Just the file names eg.
www.mysite.co.uk/contact.html to www.mysite.co.uk/contact_us_now.html

How many are you talking about and how long has the site been up and how long since the changes.

Only 6 or 7 pages in the site and all pages have changed . . . site
has been up for about 8 months I think and I have just uploaded the
new site this evening.

You could use the redirect action and have blank pages with the old page/file names with redirects to the new page/file names but that will affect your Google MoJo
Preferably do a 301 redirect in an htaccess file - have a look at Keith’s piece here Using htaccess for efficient redirection of visitors
Also it is worth having a custom 404 page with a link to your index.html page - ease of this will depend on your hosting etc.
