Thank you all for replying. I thought Gwyn's reply was closest to the money - maybe the dtd was to blame as there was a slight difference between the examples.
So I removed the data type definition from the wicket page. Alas, no improvement. In the end I went to a good layout resource (http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html) and made a couple of changes to my CSS thus: body{ text-align:center; } #wrap{ color:#404040; width:970px; margin:10px auto; text-align:left padding:0; } Wicket wasn't to blame, after all it's strength lies in its strict separation of html content and java code.
