Jon- I assume the example above is the "tables" version of the layout. :-) First, you need to validate your XHTML. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.shi-ni.com/Flora-Ro se.html Once you've done that, you can validate your CSS as well, using the W3C validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ One thing I noticed right off is that you cannot use numbers as names (or the beginnings of names) for IDs. Even though you're using tables for layout here, I would still advise you to use CSS for as much styling as you can. For instance, take the BODY tag. You have: <body BGCOLOR="#ffffff" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"> In CSS you could instead have: body { margin:0; padding:0; background-color: #fff; } Once you've validated the XHTML and the CSS, see where you stand with your problem. If its still there, post to the list again and we'll all take a look and try to help you as best we can.
