Apparently on a couple of pages in IE6, the main content isn¹t starting till
after the end of the leftnav div ie. Further down the page. It is fine in
IE7 and Firefox. And fine on Firefox and Safari on the Mac. The pages
concerned have either got a form,

I do think we also shouldn¹t forget that there are a lot of people out there

fixed up the lefthand nav so it holds together, and displays correctly

I¹m just starting to (try to!) learn Joomla as I¹m going to have to use it
on a few upcoming sites. Having looked at the html output as I work through
some of the tutorials, I¹m wondering how accessible sites created in Joomla
are, and if anyone has any experience/knowledge of good sites to help
training video.
And it's all about the Joomla 'template' which is where all the
formatting/CSS is organised. My work will hopefully buy this for me (grin)
We shall see ... :)

One can only hope anyway!!

Hi Marvin
You're not stating the fonts for you, but for the people who read your
website. That's why you usually declare 2-3 fonts, so if they don't have the
first one on their computer, it will go to the second. So you don't need to
download anything. And they (your audience) shouldn't need to
it in as a
pdf image unfortunately (with a link to a page with the poetry in regular
html but formatted as required) ...
