Dear Peter, Thank you for looking at the page. I can't find line 161-166. How do you do that numbering the lines? Do you count down?
I changed the colspan on the board pic to 1, added width of 200. It improved things in DW but it still looks the same in Netscape. When I tried to add a width attribute to Lisa's pic the whole page kind of blew up on me. Thank god for the undo command! I could kiss the feet of whoever invented it. I do not trust DW to do what I ask/tell it to at times. It still does a whole lot better than I would do on my own but it definately does strange things at times. It repeats lines of code, for example. I don't really understand colspan at all, to be honest. I'm going to try to make new wee tables for each pic and see if that helps. If I ever master the trick of nesting tables I want to try CSS. I'm very rusty now, rustier than I realised. You really have to use this stuff all the time to retain it, don't you? I have a short-term memory loss, also, which doesn't help. I uploaded the colspan changes I did but I think my best bet may be to insert tables. <goes off to try her hand at Matreshka HTML> I'll let you know how this goes. I'd never have thought of it on my own.
