Thanks Roger, partial success! > > Content Area [main div] gets pushed down. > this is caused by margin collapsing. > <http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/uncollapsing-margins/> > #main h3 { margin-top: 0; } fixes things up nicely. The above worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the left align issue (all the "body" of content & navigation menu shows up left ailgned) was not resolved with the following suggestion: > this is only a memory, no pc to test on... IE5/win doesn't understand > margin: 0 auto; so you have to set text-align: center on your body tag > to get it to center in ie5. Completing the above forced all of the text to be center aligned.
