Yes, I know the rule :-) I was just curious why news1, news2 were defined as individual IDs rather than a class of news as they would no doubt be containing the same style of content?

That will teach me for cutting and pasting the HTML only, and I didn't even see the bottom div til you mentioned it! The extra closing div doesn't actually make any difference to the margin-collapsing issue (IE is actually not too bad at *error correction*) although validating your html is definitely the first place to start in the debugging process if problems occur. Incidentally, IE6 on my win2k machine at home renders the same as all other browsers, so it only seems to be IE on XP. Then Doug followed up with: > Thanks for the help.
