I would suggest getting yourself a copy of
Firebug, it takes a little learning but it will help you solve many issues.
I don't know much myself but getting this piece of kit and using it is often more productive than waiting for replies. You will learn lots.
I understand also the need for answers or solutions, I am still asking questions myself but now, I am answering most of the questions myself. My posts now are for the seemingly more insolvable things of which there are now few due to
Firebug.
Quality....
