That is odd, Georg as the only browser that I have problems with is IE6 and I have tested this on several computers (mac included) and resolutions. Looks as if I am going to have to hardcode all the widths and heights. I am restricted on the dimensions of the site as I am not the designer - just trying to emulate the designers' brief. Fluid width has been rejected. Any thoughts then? Ian No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
