Bob,
Thanks for your help here... I now finally have the page working how I want.
As for making the whole world FF-users, if you visit my site from any other
browser soon you will be redireted via this page:
http://www.e-oddie.com/sydneylife/GetFirefox.aspx
Hopefully that should get some more users switching.
Thanks again,
Tatham

After writing to you, I thought I'd better check out what I'd said [ :-) ]
so I knocked up this:
http://www.marscovista.fsnet.co.uk/gwelanmor/middle/centering.html
You can see how I've applied some 'content' with a background and some text,
the latter positioned with margins. The CSS is embedded, for simplicity.
It works in FF, IE6, IE5.5, Opera . . .
Until all the world becomes FF :-), there <em>are</em> times when you just
HAVE to use a table, albeit a tiny one . . .
HTH a bit more.
