Aha ~ That clarifies a part of the mystery ~ thanks for that. I took out the table cell height and declared a height for the #header area in the css. No dice. I would love to do it via <div>'s only, but for now would be happy if I could make the light table work. Any other ideas on that?
Thanks, White Ash > If you put a background on your #header, you will see where the gap comes from. It's in the #header. >The browser tries to balance the table cell heights and in so doing makes the "header" cell taller than you want it. You may be able to fix this by setting a height (in CSS) on the header. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
