http://www.shopkeepers-r.us or how to get rid of it.  The current plan is
for the browser window to be maximized with the screen resolution set at
1024x768.  I'd sure appreciate help.  Resource pointers that would help me
understand why this is happening would _really_ be appreciated.

Thank you very much for this.  One big question... how / where is the body
width specified?  I thought it might have to do with body width and went
through all the CSS (I think) without finding it.  Maybe I'm looking for the
wrong thing?

I'll try this, but I thought that an element had to be positioned relative
in _order_ to float it.  Wrong?

The best news is that this _only_ has to be styled for FF ;-)

Thanks very much for your help.  I appreciate it!

Best regards,
