Amazon widget

I have placed the following html code, but it does not show up in preview or
in ff. Hence the homepage on my site (www.professionalcounselling.co.uk) now
looks unbalanced with too wide a banner at the bottom, which appears to push
out text even at the top of the page.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag="ellyprior";
amazon_ad_width="300";
amazon_ad_height="250";
amazon_color_border="436082";
amazon_color_logo="FFFFFF";
amazon_color_text="26343D";
amazon_color_link="537DD3";
amazon_ad_logo="hide";
amazon_ad_link_target="new";
amazon_ad_title="Mind and Relationships Amazon E-store"; //--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/s/asw.js"

Please could anyone throw any light on that?

Thank you in anticipation.

Elly,

The code you have inserted is not as you indicate. Here is the code you have
inserted (you can go to View > Source in your browser to see it):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag="elly-store-21";
amazon_ad_width="728";
amazon_ad_height="90";
amazon_color_border="436082";
amazon_color_logo="FFFFFF";
amazon_color_text="26343D";
amazon_color_link="537DD3";
amazon_ad_logo="hide";
amazon_ad_title="Mind and Relationships Bookshop"; //--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/s/asw.js"></script>

The reason it is too wide for your page is the ad width is 728 pixels wide,
your page is only 720 pixels wide, and you placed the code fragment box to
close to the center of your page. When the ad is imported from amazon it
extends past the right side of your page. Move the code fragment box all the
way to the left border and change the code to no more than 720 pixels
wide...and I would make it no more than 700 pixels so you could make sure it
doesn't mess up your layout. If you must, then you could make your pages
wider, but the ad copy should load in a smaller space without problem.

If you are wanting the ad for the code that you posted, then study the code
snippet for errors. Compare it to the one that works. Part of the code
appears to be missing.

Thank you, Don. Oviously a browser setting of some sort, as I still can't see
it in mine. I will play it safe and use other options.

Thank you, Dave. Glad you spotted that mistake.

Happily using Filezilla now without any problems.
