When your site was copied over, what method was used? You should force 'binary' mode using ftp program as allowing 'auto' mode may use 'ascii' transfer and this corrupts things like line feeds.

See suggestion in post 5 above about the Paypal logo.

(also, if you open your own index page file in a program like MS Frontpage you should be able to see & correct the image issue).

Now: the Google Map, this usually requires a certificate file to be present as I recall. Can you check of you have this present or maybe you need to re-generate it, especially if your domain name changed.

using google chrome to debug your site you have this code in one of your css files

• accept: ""
• accessKey: ""
• align: ""
• alt: "PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online."
• attributes: NamedNodeMap
• autofocus: false
• baseURI: "http://gracetree-bandb.comli.com/"
• checked: false
• childElementCount: 0
• childNodes: NodeList[0]
• children: HTMLCollection[0]
• className: ""
• clientHeight: 20
• clientLeft: 1
• clientTop: 1
• clientWidth: 272
• contentEditable: "false"
• dataset: Object
• defaultChecked: false
• defaultValue: ""
• dir: ""
• disabled: false
• draggable: false
• files: null
• firstChild: null
• firstElementChild: null
• form: HTMLFormElement
• formNoValidate: false

I am almost certain it is the line below that needs to be changed from

clientWidth: 272
to
clientWidth: 86

and also
clientHeight: 20
to
clientHeight: 21
just to be on the complete side

but i've looked at your css files and it doens't to appear to be in there, so you might need to run a string search accross all your files to find out where clientWidth:272 exists (if it does as it could be a dynamic value)

I will check that.

I have managed to add the google map now, but it is still playing up - map not showing correctly...

buglawton

yes your Google map appears momentarily in Internet Explorer then disappears. In Firefox it does not appear at all.

well i have managed to sort 2 problems out, but am still struggling with the paypal button

thank you for your help guys!!

Hmm your Google Map does not point to your actual property. Could be confusing for guests.

Your Paypal button shows up as width="86" height="21" and looks normally proportioned (but a bit small) when I paste the page into Frontpage. You can tweak those w and h values in a text editor.
