Hi David,
Hang in there - you're doing well! And don't pull your hair out, just come
to the list. Quite often, problems are easily fixed but we're too close to
see them.
Your HTML validates but your CSS has three minor errors:-
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
The reason Opera and NS hide most of the document is this:-
#CollageWrapper h1 {
margin: -9000 0;
}
Values other than zero must have their units specified. IE is lax in that
it assumes "px". I think you meant:-
#CollageWrapper h1 {1
margin: 0 0 0 -9000px;
}
as a hack to move the text off the screen. When I changed to this, the
document rendered fine in Opera (O7.54). I can't immediately solve your
centering problem. It looks okay in Opera.
I think it will help you greatly if you develop using a
standards-compliant browser and then retest/workround/detune for IE. IE's
laxity has led you astray and hence wasted your development time. By a
remarkable coincidence, I've just added a page to the Wiki in response to
a recent question:-

Trust this helps.
