The bit for your paypal & AOLFF link thing has three /divs but never opens a div. I'm guessing your problem is in that general neighborhood. paypal is a b-a-d neighborhood. You should never hang out in the paypal part of town unless you are armed with a large caliber div. Or two!

:( I grabbed my big-caliber gun and moseyed on over. Skin me for a varmint, but it didn't work! :oops:

I think those are closing the ones opened with the left_header one, left_header two divs....at least I think they are.

When I removed them, it *really* made all that data go funky!

Any more suggestions? I'm about ready to throw in the towel and dump the b2Evo platform.

And I really don't want to!

I thought only one of those three was the problem.

I've tried removing one, two, three...it's just not working!

I have it ok in Firefox now, except that my background stops about halfway down.

In IE, though, it's mangled. :(

123 validation errors begin with no doc type declared. Before you can fix css issues you need to fix your code. Until then you'll be stuck chasing symptoms here and there and everywhere. Sorry, but browsers need good html to apply css to.

*giggle* the other forum I asked for help in told me to remove the doc type. It *did* fix about 10 errors I had ;)

(told you I was new at this!)

part of the problem, I think, is that I am trying to combine elements of two different layouts that I liked.

code in the hands of a newbie can be dangerous!
