Hi,
There are several things you could try in an attempt to fix this.
First, validate your XHTML and CSS. Next, try applying the IE Box Model
Hack (http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html). Since you are
using padding and a border on some of your divs, this is likely the problem.

Hi,
Is there a way to eliminate widows/orphans in paragraphs? Not when the html page
is printed out, but when viewed in a browser. I wanted to know if anyone's run
into this and knows how to fix/kludge/hack? (preferably something that would
validate of course)
If not, I'll keep on adding br /'s
As widows/orphans in paragraphs depend heavily on
various factors (screen/window and font size, to name a few),
there is no reliable way I'm aware of that could help you here,
I'm afraid.
Unrelated to this issue, but interesting nonetheless in the
context of widows/orphans:

Hi Marie,
If you're going to use xhtml, you need to give every attribute a value. Your

Because you've declared XHTML doctype for your page (see first line of your code) you
need to use parameter=value pairs in all cases.
So for valid XHTML you'd need
