Wow David that was the best, easiest explanation I've ever heard for
css! So basic, yet soooo valuable. I've spent the entire day revising
this page. Using % for everything.
It looks OK in Mac browsers, except the footer. That just won't move
up. I fix that then everything else brakes.
Would you or someone else please look in Windows for me to see if
it's still a disaster.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks
Terri
