You can read about it here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html In short ... your #nav is 55px too wide ... because you have a width of 775px and then right+left padding that = 55px ... I would love to tell you that it will be a smooth journey, but it wasn't ... but keep at it ... _db http://nuff-respec.com On Dec 6, 2006, at 4:40 PM, Michael Netherton wrote: > I'm an old school coder.
