However, I would strongly suggest that you validate your pages prior to posting them. It often picks up the small typos that all of us make - like your leaving out the semi-colon at the end of the last line of every style rule; or the fact that you were using an unrecognised doctype.
This post explains the joys of validation in much greater detail [1] *. The HTML code was mostly correct, apart from the lack of a recognised doctype, and a bunch of small issues - the use of an ID twice, etc, etc. I would like to help you out as much as my skill will allow me to; however, I am restricted by my experience. I do see that adding a height to the #info does cause the border to display, but messes the rest of it up. A hasLayout bug? I wouldn't even know where to begin there. Going back to the original issue of validation, I would like to stress that validating ensures that there are no obvious errors on the page. I would not like to waste this lists time, and I would presume that no one else would either. So; in future, do validate - by doing so you show that you are willing to put time into your page and you give the list-members a reason to do so as well. > -Mike Regards, Rahul. [1] http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you * In the post, Mark mentions that a guru-designer tells a newbie to validate. I would not presume any such competence; I am a complete newbie here. PS: I am about to go on a 120-km cycling trip tomorrow! Coincidence? ;-). The rides sound wonderful though! -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
