Georg/David,
Thanks for your responses. My starting out objective was liquid (within limits) width. Each layout conflict resulted in loss of liquid width until this iteration when I gave up on liquid width. Coming new to HTML & CSS in my ignorance I had thought layout and content was the major concern. With your 'gentle' proddings I now realise that understanding the limitations of CSS and exploiting its opportunities are key to good web sites. So I'm a slow learner, back to drawing board, but I'm getting there - with a little help along the way perhaps.
