Hi Melissa, Welcome back. The link you gave does not seem to work, but this sounds like a "float containment" problem. This article describes the issue and has a cross-browser solution: <http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html> Warning: I believe that the declaration "display: inline-table" should read "display: inline-block". Looking over the article, some of the text would confirm this. I seem to recall that the "inline-block" value fixes it for IE7 as well. Others may wish to correct or confirm this. FWIW: "display: inline-block" validates as CSS 2.1. My experience with the jigsaw validator is that, by default, it validates to CSS 2, which flags inline-block as an error. I love standards-- there are so many to choose from! :D Cordially, David --
