It would probably be easy to see what causes what, if a complete page were uploaded somewhere and you provided a link to it. There are so many factors related to the source-code itself, that may turn any qualified guess about CSS on its head - literally. > Any ideas.

The safest, although time-consuming, is to read up on the latest HTML specs... <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/> > I don't want to be flamed for asking a dumb question. So instead of > that. direct me where I can read for myself. There are no dumb questions, as long as they are related to real world use of CSS. (unless, of course, I'm the one asking them ;-) ) Your questions are just fine. I think the best is to read the specs... <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1> <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/> ...and then compare to how far the major browsers supports these specs... <http://nanobox.chipx86.com/browser_support.php> It is a "moving target" of sort, as support do get slightly better with each new version they release. --- IE6 isn't regarded as a good tool when we are designing. Since you are on win you should rather download Opera and/or Firefox and work towards those, and correct things in IE6 later. That will save you from a lot of problems related to the weak and pretty shaky CSS support that IE6 has. The rest is fine, I think. I don't use Dreamweaver, or any other editor, in WYSIWYG mode, since editors, generally, are not good browsers. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
