Thanks for the suggestion. I've been to have a look
and I'm a bit confused though.
In my code, title is defined as this:
#title {
position:absolute;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top:100px;
width:750px;
text-align:left;
}
Is there a difference between "margin-left" and
"left"? I've added positions to all the relevant divs
and it hasn't made any difference.
Thanks
Nicole
