you know what, I removed the "left bottom" in the background line, and that helped the problem...

my next challenge is to fix the padding around the text box, any ideas on that?

I dont know if this will do it or not but it seems the frame div is still open, try closing it and let me know. I'm using opera and it looks good here, but thats opera for you.

hey faze, just sent you a pm, figured it out, i think i'm getting the hang of this...

however, i just looked at this in Netscape, and it looks ugly!

Yeah, that happens.

Basically, there's no one thing you could do that would solve that problem. You would have to start over and not use CSS, since that's what the browser is reading differently. If you want to bother with that, just say so but it's late and I don't want to think that hard right now unless I need too.

My advice would be to ignore it. It's readable in Netscape and that works, right? ^_^ Most people that would visit your site would probably be using Internet Explorer anyway (sorry Netscape users, but it's true).

Hope that helped!

I went back and took a look today, it seems you have been hard at work. It really looks like it's coming together now but if you get stuck again let me know, I am happy to help any way I can.

Cheers,
