I have to admit to dropping back to tables sometimes. 90% of my pages are dynamic, I don't know what content, or even how much content, will appear, and I can't get some pages to look nice. Have a look at c with Firefox - it's OK with IE. But in Firefox, some of the content drops out of the white box because it is too long (too much HEIGHT) - and there is no way to calculate what the height will be. So I have messed about with the CSS on this page, and now, it's time to go back... This page is just about to be TABLEd! If anyone can show me how to correct the CSS for that page, I would appreciate it, because I much prefer the amount of control that CSS gives me - it means that I can easily do things like http://www.fourwood.com/propfeed.php -- Pete Clark http://www.hotcosta.com http://www.spanishholidaybookings.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
