I am also interested to hear also how it looks in computers with different resolutions-it looks fine
for me with firefox and IE. Thanks everyone for all your help along the way.

Trevor,

You are getting there.

You will know things are working relatively well cross-browser when in 
IE6.0 you do not drop the far right column float (as it does now) when 
she is in "accessibility" mode at text-size "/largest/" with the 
"/ignore font sizes specified on Web pages/" box checked [1].

Some /first steps/ toward that goal, might be:

1/ Re-set this:
body { font: /*0.9875em*/ 90% tahoma, arial, sans-serif; color: #4d4d4d; 
text-align: center; }
to (default):
body { font: 100% tahoma, arial, sans-serif; color: #4d4d4d; text-align: 
center; }

2/ Re-set this:
#topnav a {border-right: #d8e1e9 1px solid; display: block; font: 
11px/20px tahoma, arial, sans-serif; color: #fff; text-align: center}
to (ditch the pixel font and pixel line-height):
#topnav a {border-right: #d8e1e9 1px solid; display: block; font: 
76%/1.4 tahoma, arial, sans-serif; color: #fff; text-align: center}

3/ Reduce the font-size of the headings (h2-h6) and content text (p) as 
necessary.

[1] To put IE6 in accessibiliy mode at text-size "largest:"
Go to:
Tools>Internet Options>Accessibility>Check box that reads: "ignore font 
sizes specified on Web pages"
Then go to: View>Text Size>Largest

Best,

~dL

Thanks as ever for the reply David. I have implemented those changes
http://216.219.94.105/david1.htm and will change the p´s and h´s to make it look smarter. The
Accessibility>Check box that reads: "ignore font sizes" I have done-what a nightmare I feel like I´m
back to square one again now! I have no idea where to start to sort out the problem the cl div
(which is the offending one) is floated right. The only tools I have knowledge of are clear for this
case. I will try clearing right and clearing left and clearing both and see what happens.
