Thank you all very much. The problem is solved and I had also fixed the validation problem earlier with some other advice.
Someone asked why I used the definition list. I used it because it gave me the layout I wanted quickly and easily. I am still very much a novice with css and xhtml (have used html for a number of years with table layouts)and so I am trying simple solution so I will not get too confused too often. The help of this group is really priceless. I have only one question. Could you please explain why this simple solution worked and how. I do understand the overflow: hidden, but the first half of the code I do not understand. The solution is quite elegant. MJ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
