Thanks, everyone, for all your helpful advice. As soon as I read the first reply from ran_dizolph I entered the DOCTYPE and that seemed to correct the endless horizontal scrolling, so those of you who visited the site and didn't find that a problem, I guess that's because I got to it first.

I'm still tweaking and correcting and have found all your suggestions most helpful. So glad this forum exists. Special thanks to Dubbya - although I didn't "write the code" that you found on the css and js, (it was written by the gurus of the cms I use), I certainly understand your confusion, for I, too, questioned it - but not knowing much about js, I figured it must be there for a reason. I'll insert your coding as suggested. I appreciate the time you - all of you - take to help novices like me learn and improve.
