Thanks, Kay. I have just posted the pages asking for a browser check so
will give that a day or two then I will add the full doctype to the
relevant pages and post again.
Kind regards
Lyn

I thought I should add it to all the other pages but when I did so, the
contents of the left column moved towards the center in IE and Opera
so I took it off and things reverted to normal.
You should definitely have a full doctype on every page - without it
your pages are not valid. The differences are due to IE and Opera
going into "quirks mode" - emulating old (bad) browser behaviour -
when no doctype is present.
If you post the pages exhibiting the problem, I'm sure someone here
will be able to give you some idea as to why.
Cheers,
Kay.
