Valid XHTML

I think it might help if you validated your page. You currently have two head sections and a couple of body sections. What you've done is put the slideshow in a body section and then closed the body. So technically, everything else on the page is like a separate page (and it might be said that browsers shouldn't even show it).

Basically, I think you inserted the code for the slideshow incorrectly. If you remove the extra body and head tags, it might start working like you want.

How do I vaildated my page?

I already removed the extra body and head tags as you suggested but its still look the same way :(

Where can I go or How do I validated my XHTML? ( I'm new to this stuff so I dont know how to do it)

Thanks.

Validating an XHTML page

The easiest way to check the validity of your pages is to use the html validator plug-in for Firefox.
Also, the web standard project (or WASP) provides a "Conforming XHTML 1.0 Strict Template" page (very useful if you happen to write pages form scratch sometimes).

Problem are fixed - Thank You

Thanks to you all esp Aaron Collier and Duboc for your kind support.

The problems is caused by misplaced </a> tag on the slider and missing closing tags. The HTML Validator is handy for looking and fixing those problem since its offer a clean code :)) Now its start working like I want :)

God bless you all.

Thank you so much once again.
