Hi Charles - Thanks for taking at look at this, and providing some feedback. That is the way it came out of the "slice" and I guess I wasn't thinking when I started putting everything together. I will look at it again tonight and change things around.
Thanks for your samples and suggestions - they all made perfect sense!

( ie ... header information with logo and etc.... <TABLE WIDTH="810px" .... etc> <TR><TD> < DIV ID = "MENU" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1" > .... menu information < /DIV > <DIV ID = "BODY" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 120px ( or whatever the width of your menu ); z-index: 1" > ... body information </DIV> </TD></TR> </TABLE> ) hope this helped in someway ( probalby easier to declare the classes in the main stylesheet ) Charles R King Todd Richards wrote: >Hi Everyone - > >I'm having two particular problems with a site that I am doing.
