Hi Angela, I have checked in Safari, Firefox (Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X), Opera (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows XP) and IE7 on Windows XP. The layout issues occur across all browsers. I tend to agree with David that a "clean sheet" approach is best, get rid of tables except for tabular data. IMHO there is not a better starting point than the layout guides from Thierry Koblentz at TJKDesign: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/one_html_markup_many_css_layouts.asp I think the layout you are looking for is CSS Layout 8: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/liquid/8.asp Whilst looking at the source code I also noticed that you started your headings at Level 4 (h4). Headings should start at Level 1 (h1) and CSS should be used to create the "right" size and style. This is the basis of semantic markup and CSS. I know this is really hard to start with but keep trying and it becomes very easy to quickly layout and construct sites as your skills with CSS improve. Good luck and I hope you continue with the CSS journey! -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 .... _ ...
