Grab the browser window and drag it wider and narrower and watch the
way the different sections adapt to changing widths. Everyone doesn't
run the same screen resolution as your layout machine, so take this
under consideration as well.

Keep in mind I didn't take time to format this stuff, but the way you
are approaching this is simply WAY too complicated and inconsistent to
work with all browsers. It's a nightmare out there...

I know you are attempting to achieve a specific layout, but
unfortunately the web is not a desktop publishing program.
Your Sitebilder generated code is filled with thousands of unneeded
font tags and non-breaking spaces and soft-spaces and DIVs and....


Thanks, Greg, but whatever it was, when I downloaded and hit the extract
button, it all disappeared.

XP Firewall probably ate it... ;-)

I'm going to change some of the headers to images later today...but I'm
not
sure I want to get involved with Dreamweaver, or other programs that cost
that much.

Sorry, I haven't priced DW it in a while, but it does generate clean
code that is easier to modify by hand, and by other programs. I use
it, but it's an older version. It is the only program that created
code clean enough for me to abandon the use of hand coded pages...
I do web sites in HTML, ASP, etc. as a supporting service to our
relational data-base customers, and is a part of our income.

And while I don't care for some of the designs and color schemes
customers chose - hey, they're payin for it, not me. ;-)

I've worked with HTML in the past, and, truthfully, I can't really deal
with
the boredom. I do have...if I can recall the name...NoteTab or some such
already on my hard drive, so I'll try to look at the site with that later
on. It may be possible to clean it up that way.

Yes, HTML editing is boring - especially on large scale projects.
You could create a template and use it for all your other/new pages.
NotePad comes with Windoze, and can be used to edit manually.
DO NOT, however, use WordPad - it will make a mess of things.

It does seem as if each and every fast and easy web site program either
costs a small fortune or adds a lot of debris.

Welcome to the wonderful (NOT) world of HTML and cross browser
incompatibilities... ;-)

Good Luck with whatever you decide to do... Sorry I butted in.

Suggestions always welcome. Which doesn't mean they're always taken, of
course.

Checked Amazon: Dreamweaver is $399. Ouch. That would almost buy the new
lens I want (almost, minus $399--the lens is about $799).
