Why is this in the HTML section?..There is a showroom section here

Anyways, comments, let me tackle the HTML since you posted this in the HTML section.

...You don't have DTD in your page. Note that a valid page is almost a perfect page.

You might also find it useful to validate your page:
http://validor.w3.org

See the number of errors:shock:

You had a number of deprecated elements and attributes
I'll name a few
<center> and font tag

Also these attributes:
background
align
valign


...Also, that cursor tail, makes your page informal. (just my two cents worth).

Hope that helps

Not the old way, but you're coding without realizing the deprecated elements. Well anyway, with the info i've given you, you'll be heading on the right part. (I guess)..

and its not working in all browsers as i have missed out the valadation for all browsers is that correct??.

Yes, some browsers do not render it correctly. At least I know that IE will try to render your page the way you wanted it. But not for compliant browsers like FF...(maybe safari and opera too).

Hope that helps

Pretty good. If your going for a professional look then I would take off the bubbles and the "welcome to my site". It should probably say something like "welcome to <site title>" Just some tips
