Hi Downside, there is no gif for rootschat, the code added by rootschat.net to the bottom of every web page on the site is:
<!-- RootsChat.com footer -->
<p>
<table border="0" align="center" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="1" bgColor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="1" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="right" bgColor="#ffffff"><div style="FONT: 9px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #999999"> Local and Family History Webspace donated by: </div></td>
<td noWrap align="right" bgColor="#999999"><div style="FONT: 9px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #ffffff"> <a style="color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none" href="http://www.ROOTSchat.com">www.RootsChat.com</a> </div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table><!-- /RootsChat.com footer -->
</BODY></HTML>
Except of course, </BODY></HTML> are already there or should be but ain't in Keith's case.

I think falcybe has the answer. I don't think the css file will be at fault as the RootsChat footer is added, regardless of what you write.
Seems strange to me that all have the following line in:
<BODY ONLOAD="javascript:init('Your Family History Site (surname_index.htm)');">
Or similar
Which causes an "error on page" message to be displayed at the bottom - and when I delete the whole line, no message appears and nothing seems to alter - so why have the line in - in the first place?!
my guess is that this is the script that adds the RootsChat footer at the bottom of every page.
So as long as the page is on order, the heading should be added before the final
</body>
</html> tags.
So if the page was corrupted, then the script probably couldn't find it's "position" and simply added it at the bottom of the file, but because the </body> </html> tags weren't there, the browser then displayed the footer lines first, before showing the rest of the page.
Like I said, I'm guessing, based on falcybe's reply and the results of some of my mistakes.
Bob

The quick and nasty method: put 37 < br> tags between the </div> and the <!--- Rootschat.com footer ... lines  doesn't matter if it's 37 lines, or all in one or two lines, as long as you have 37 < br>'s (without the space between < and br, that's only so they show on this posting) Bob (I hate Microsoft applications' HTML code , mutter, mutter, grumble, grumble !!!)

Hi All,
Thanks for all those comments - I think 
The trouble with me is I see something is wrong and play away until it "appears" to be right - then other things start to go wrong !
The only reason I updated my software programme was that I found that when you clicked on a link it took you to the top of the page concerned - go back and do the same thing again and it went to the correct position on the page - spent ages trying to see what "I" had done wrong - later it turned out to be a bug or a "feature" as my brother calls them!!
So now realise that some/most programmes are badly written - but whereas you lot know what you are doing I don't!
The 2 lines you mention I have "messed" about with on my special pages - so that part may be me - BUT the banner also appears at the top of the surname index etc - which I have not touched - but it did not appear there before I upgraded!
Anyway - as I said many thank to trying to help - will go away and read them all again - as see which bits I CAN understand!
Cheers
Keith
P.S. Just seen your post falcybe as I tried to load my reply - will have a go with that

This Web designing is easy isn't it
With everyone's help I now have the banner at the bottom - the border at the side and the words around the pictures 
I think you all deserve a cup of tea and a few chocolate biscuits!
THANK YOU
Keith
