Hi Scott Which version of Netscape..? This is important as with Netscape 4 you are better off hiding the stylesheet. Netscape 6 is/was a dud so better off pressing for an upgrade for the 1 % of users who use it. If you are targeting Netscape 7 then the problem *should* (touch wood) manifest

Hi Rosie, The div's not misbehaving, it's the floated image ... but that's how floats are meant to work. Clearing the float by adding dl { clear:both; } to your stylesheet will give you what you want. Cheers, Mike On Tuesday, June 8, 2004, at 11:46 PM, Rosie Norwood wrote: Hi all, Sorry for
