Thanks so much for your input. This will at least give me somewhere to start. If by chance you might need other info to try and understand my objective please feel free to ask.
Thanks again
Thank you both very much. I hope to have time tonight to fix these errors and see if that fixes the problem. The positioning link helped explained several things I was unaware of.
Thanks Again for your help
thank you both for you replies and for the validation link. I will work on cleaning these items up and rerun the validator.
cacheflowdesign curious if there is a rule of thumb for absolute positioning. As you can tell CSS in terms of using DIV tags are new to me. The last time I attempted to do a webpage was late 1990’s or early 2000’s when most aspects were positioned by tables.
