No no I haven't made up my mind. Since Mozilla and IE were showing it
properly, I guessed it to be a bug with Opera. Sorry about that.

I see, so your reply suggests me that <center> is not suitable in HTML.
I am looking at the w3.org site to find out which tags are allowed in
HTML. Btw, does this mean XHTML supports <center> tag? The font tag was
introduced in a jiffy. I will look again at it.

Okay thanks! I will look more into my buggy design. I just started about
3 months ago with HTML & CSS on a weekend basis, so there will be
sometime since I mature with everything. Thanks for all the suggestions.
If you can find more bugs at my site, I shall be obliged.
PS: any good tutorial on positioning?
Best regards,
