Thanks again, Georg. I knew you couldn't duplicate ID's, but thought the preceding tag (such as p#header and div#header) gave it a different name. I know better now, and have distinct ID's. Also, the logo is in a <div> now. Thank you. I've been working in XHTML Strict, mostly for experience, but it doesn't like the <hr> tag, at least the "noshade" attribute. I'd like this page to work in Strict, but am stuck on the noshade problem. Without it, the hr's look strange---and without any hr's at all, half my design skills would be gone. Is there a CSS element similar to the hr, or should I make this a Transitional page? I'll need to read the reference on padding and margins several times before it seeps in. I appreciate the help very much.
