Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions and help. I think Root’s link may be the direction for me. I will experiment.
As I am a newbie in the CSS world, just wondering if putting the menu within the rap would possibly work? or is that just not the way to go at all? I’m just curious.
I will now proceed to investigate the merits of float and see if I can get my head around some more concepts.
thanks again
Cybo, thanks for the fast reply. I gave your suggestion a try and it didn’t seem to do the trick. If I understood you correctly, I just put that bit of code where the content div is in my test about.php page. But the menu still bleeds over the rap border.
I will keep looking and see if maybe I didn’t make proper sense of your suggestion.
