that's awesome, thank you loads!!! It goes back to the same hovering like position when I center the image, but that's fine I can work around it in photoshop!
just one last question regarding the footer...how do you incorporate widgets inside the grey area? the widget areas i have made, when I add a widget they seem to be above the area in question? Ideally would be great to incorporate an email subscriber widget, & telephone address info...I can find widgets for this no probs, but how do you tell the script I want them to be placed in that area right at the bottom of my page?
many thanks again for the help!
