Tim, Thanks for the reply. I was able to set up the blocks of text on contact.html using floats. Work fine now. I still have a few questions to all regarding this layout and IE. Go to: www.ba-doyn.com/junk/meeks_test_3 and you will see in IE the following: - that the top left navigation still is riding high compared to Firefox (PC and Mac) - the large type at the bottom seems to be different in IE and Firefox - no square bullets on the horizontal links in IE (i've tried to find a solution to this but it escapes me.) should I use images? - beneath the horizontal links, in Firefox the space is larger for the index vs. the contact pages. Thanks so much for helping me along with this. I've been cramming my head with so much lately that sometimes I'm sure the solution is right there I just can't see it.
