Thanks Francky. I learnt quite a bit from your test demo-page, and have a better grasp now on how to control the page layouts in browsers. You got my layout pretty bang on too! The line borders weren't quite in the right places, but because you explained everything so clearly in your test demo page, I managed to figure out how get them to work in the new layout. YOU ROCK!
I will definitely post a link next time to make things easier. Still waiting to get the domain registered, so am testing locally at the moment. Am about to try inserting images now, so we'll see how that goes... -mary >.m. aquilina wrote: > > >Hi, > > > >I finally got my layout to work in IE, FireFox and Netscape (have yet to > >check in on Safari), and was feeling pretty excited about having figured >out > >how to use css.. until I discovered that if i shrunk my browser, the >content > >to the right shifted right over the left content.
