About which of the above pieces of advice? All, I would assume. <g>

The bit that said "Last problem?"

You can see it in action at www.the-whistle-blower.org.

You have some kind of error on the page that IE doesn't know how to
deal with. I don't use IE. In my Firefox, there is no "error on
page" with JavaScript disabled /or/ enabled. Once I enabled
JavaScript, the only difference I saw was a rather obnoxious marquee
banner with a quote from MLK.

It's a lovely marquee banner.

...but still draws the eye away from your content. If the quote is that
important to you, use some proper markup, perhaps <blockquote> and
<cite>. Perhaps:

<blockquote>
<p>
To defeat injustice you must first make it visible.
<cite title="by Martin Luther King">Martin Luther King</cite>
</p>
</blockquote>

...then style those two elements to taste.

My pal has been urging me to use firefox - maybe I shall.

It is recommended to always test your pages in several major browsers.
At the very least, IE6, Firefox, Opera.

I could always just set up some relative references to the topic pages
and do without anything fancy.

For those "D:\" links? Yes, use relative pathing, not for some directory
on your own hard drive.

I f I created a nav bar in Dreaaamweaver MX would it make a
difference?

Couldn't tell you anything about Dreamweaver. I code by hand.

You need to fix your banner image. At 107.18 KB (109,757 bytes) it is
way too heavy. And don't resize an image using HTML height and
width.

I created it in MS Photodraw. How should I convert it but leave it
the same size?

See Alan's advice about the image.
