As to the syntax error, those were left over after I tried removing some options to see the effects they have.

I understand the implication of such "unclean" HTML, but it's partly out of my hands at the moment. Anyway, it is working great now with respect to the boxes. Many thanks to all who responded, I very much appreciate your help. I have two other problems though, but I don't know if I should start a thread for each of them. I'll sump them up here and will create a new thread if you think it's better this way : 1. The "line" to separate the title and the content is done using a "groove" border. However, it goes over the right border. Using a red background, I figured out why it is doing so. Do you guys think there is a way to have such a line inside the rounded box, only using CSS? If not, I'll scrap it altogether. 2. The link inside the "popular articles" box is not using the full width of the box, creating a new line for every word. I used the CSS inspector add-in for Firefox/Seamonkey but I couldn't find which style applies to this text to force it doing so. Looking a the CSS directly did not help me either. > Hope it helps. > I sure does, many thanks to all of you.
