I do intend to agree with you by giving IE priority. Although 90% are
old figures now. Not only that, the owner of the site uses nothing but
IE :/

Yes, I saw that too, but as I said I didn't know how to fix it. Just
like a car. I may know that my big end has gone, but knowing how to
fix it is the problem.

Anyway, I took out the clip stuff all together and now validates.
Thank you so much.
I tried almost everything else. Altering the factors of the clip etc.
But didn't think about taking them out all together. doh.

Done and fixed. You are a star. Thank you so much.

Thank you.
I must admit, at this point, I do find working in WYSIWYG html is
easier. But I do see the benefits of css.
And some of these tutorials you read are written by eggheads for
eggheads. Nothing written for the village idiot like me.

Doesn't help when I am on a modem with limited online time. Not the
most ideal tool for a webmaster LOL
I have to save off as many pages as possible and wade through them.

Thanks again for all your help. You are a life saver.
Take care
