Thank you, Philippe.
I'd read and implemented the 'clearfix' fix described in the
easyclearing article in a previous version of this site.
Unfortunately I had so many browser glitches that I started over and
then overlooked 'easyclearing'. And I had NOT seen your site, which
looks valuable.
Unfortuantely, there are other floated elements (just one on some
pages) which precede div#contentbody visually and in the document
flow -although they are not ancestors. This is best illustrated by
http://www.vsi.cape.com/~dagnew/abt/beacon.php
It will take me a few days to properly digest the pointers you've
given (I really want to avoid unneeded code), but I'll report back
with my progress.
Thanks again!
