Back again,

    * Looking in your code: WOW, somebody seems to be afraid to get wet
      feet: almost everything is floating! ;-)
      Mostly a simple {text-align:left} can position the content of a
      <div> to the left side; or it is there already by default. Only
      the li's of the nav's and the two columns in the content box
      really need to be floating on this page.
      That means: the main css of the page can be simplified a lot,
      which is easier to handle too!

    * The big corner/border images for the content box can be replaced
      by 2 small ones, with some other css.

    * The fixed width is using only a part of the screen, especially at
      bigger resolutions only the half of the screen (or less) is used.
      See 1280x1024 screenshot
      
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/screenshot-cityboxer.jpg>.
      *)
      But people don't buy heavy inch'ed monitors with big resolutions
      to see only a humble part used by a web page...
      A more flexible width can use as much of the screen as you wish,
      for each reso (from 800x600, without the need of scrolling
      left-right): another 1280x1024 screenshot
      
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/screenshot-cityboxer-test.jpg>.

    * The fixed (and rather small) font-size is prohibiting around
      80%-85% of the visitors (the IE people) to upscale the font if
      they need that (especially at bigger resolutions). The
      css-validator better should give a WARNING for this! :-)
      Setting the font-size in a relative unit is solving this.

    * The 2 OnlineShop images can be combined in 1.

And? Okay, here is the continued story: re-css'd to testpage c 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-betting-c.htm>.

Even IE6 on Win is quite happy in this way! :-)

Greetings,
francky

Brought back to 900x720px.

**)
The css rules in the test page are adding (or changing) parts of the 
rules from the related original stylesheet.
For some css rules I could not escape/change your css; in the test page 
some id's and classes have got new names!
Also the not mentioned classes / id's in the html of the test page can 
be deleted in the stylesheet.
