ah ha! that was my problem - I realize now the alignments/placements re in relation to each other where before they were in relation to the outer edges of the table. thank you!
I've done them all but still have one tiny problem that i cannot figure out. the pages all look fine in Dreamweaver, but in FF and safari for mac, the center background graphic has dropped about 1 pixel. example: http://ajputnam.com/sky/bio/ home page is causing me a touch of grief too with side divs not showing the right background color and the center section dropping a little more than the other pages: http://ajputnam.com/sky/ Thanks for all of your help. With this last bit of finesse, I should be able to finally launch this site! amy On Feb 13, 2008 4:55 PM, Gunlaug Sørtun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AJ Putnam wrote: > > So, I did what you indicated.
