I've been asked to help a friend create a website for her pilates business. Before I really begin, however, I've been trying to polish my pretty basic web design skills (that I haven't used in years). I've been trying to use a layout provide by the free version of Coffee Cup HTML Editor.

You can see my banner issues: here
Any idea why my navigation/extra columns are blocking the banner from fitting into the layout?

CODE
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Layout 25</title>

I recommend that you start by fixing the markup errors and CSS errors reported by the online tools.

Right now, you've floated div#wrapper to the left, and its siblings div#navigation and div#extra to the right. And that's what I see in my browser.
