Okay dokay, Michael. First things, first. You have no doctype specified and probably best to start with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> at the top of your page. Then go validate it at http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ba-doyn.com%2Fj unk%2F Now, I am not sure whether you want the whole portal to be centred and if that is the case you will need some extra code in your CSS, Body {text-align:centre} Not sure why you have float:left for the container div (but I may be missing something. If you want the container to centre you will need to specify width and margin - probably #container {width:1024;margin:0 auto} Also ditch the <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> code in the html and add margin:0 to your body spec in css.
