Rules lineup in Firefox, Safari, not IE - Macromedia Dreamweaver

Place page content inside a wrapper division with borders - no images
needed.

Nancy -- Thanks for the advice, but I am still having trouble. I built my site
with tables and absolute positioning.
I took the code from your sample page, but can't get it to work. Is the
wrapper a class tag you created and apply to a table?

I built a frame, pulled it down, but covers all of my content. Is there a way
to bring table "to front"?

I also made frames with just a left border and just a right border. This shows
in Firefox, but not Explorer or Safari.

Any help you can give me is appreciated.
Thanks

Todd

That's a shame. CSS is so much cleaner and flexible than tables. Absolute
positioning is a really bad idea unless you fully understand how it behaves.

As a quick mental exercise, I rebuilt your page with CSS instead of tables.
And no APs!
Increase text size aggressively to see how well the page holds up in various
browsers.
View Source Code to see how it was done, then compare my code to yours.

Nancy,

Thanks for your help and attention to this. I'm out of time to rebuild my
whole site within the wrapper (I don't understand it well enough, anyway).
Thanks for your help. If I had the cash, I'd just hire you guys!
Anyway, I am going to look at the code and see if I can figure things out.
Thanks.

Todd
