It's pretty obvious that you are coding for IE first, then checking firefoxthat never works. Get it right in firefox first, them make an "IE only" stylesheet with the box model fixes. *Joseph R. B. Taylor* Sites by Joe, LLC /Custom Web Design & Development/ Phone: (609) 335-3076 www.sites

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the standards use of the and tags (like I'm doing here on the 2007 image of the left column: http://www.heliosdg.com/mgcaf/)? I did some testing by turning images off in IE7 and Firefox but the alt tag data doesn't appear. Does that mean screen reader
