Maybe this got unnoticed, but I would really appreciate any help with
 these problems.
In essence: make the basics work without trying to hack the living
daylight out of browsers - remove all hack-attempts, so we can look at
how to add the features you ask for help with without having to rebuild
the entire stylesheet from scratch.
Thanks for your answer. I have updated the site and commented out the hacks in the stylesheet, but it does not look like what I would like it to look like. Below are the problems I'm having.

1. The header buttons are displayed on top of each other while I want them to be displayed one next to the other. I have tried using "display: inline" but this prevents me from using "width". Basically, I want the following display:
 - "header" takes the entire width of the window
 - "header_lang" is 60pixels wide
- "header_buttons" takes all remaining space on the same line as "header_lang" - "header_button" takes 25% width of its containing "header_buttons" div. As there are four buttons, this makes them use all the width of the parent. An example of what I would like can be seen on the "production" site at this address: http://photos.obones.com/ This is using tables to do the formatting, so I'm trying to get rid of them as suggested here.

2. The vertical scrollbar is showing for the entire page. I want it to show only for the "vbox" div which is placed in the "hbox" div. This last one has a gray background which makes it easier to distinguish from the header. The "hacks" that I commented out were used to obtain the desired effect, but I would gladly accept a more standard way of achieving this. The "production" site mentioned at point 1 above uses frames to get this, but frames are no longer to be used, so I'm trying to redesign the site.

Thank you all for your help.

Regards
Olivier
