Thanks for your quick response David, but I went to those links, and basically...it may have well been in Chinese.
It's a bit deep for me.
As far as the template...I dunno if it's good, bad or indifferent...but it's what I started creating the site with.
Basically...in real simple terms...is there a way to keep each of the "box's height"...the same exact size on every page?
No matter if you remove or add text...?
Here's a link to a sample page from the site I'm messing with. I would like to keep everything exactly like you see it, on everypage except the
homepage. That's slightly different due to the large banner I've created.

If you hit any top button except for the Home button... all the page/table/frame whatever it's all called...is the same size in height.
I'd like to keep it hat way because the contents of each page will be very minimal, and it makes for a neat & uniform look.
If not...one page would be long, the other shorter, the other shorter sttill due to the content.
I'd like them all...in a laymen's kinda terms..."the same 10x12 inch box".
I'd like that inner blue content box to stay the same height even if it had no text.
(if you notice...it still has the sample text inside each...I haven't added the content yet.)
I've even tried setting a height for that table (it only lists a width in Dreamweaver), and figured maybe if I did that...it would stay a fixed
height...but after removing the text and saving it...the height shrunk again.
If what is needed is a CSS, can I make one from the pages that I've already setup?
How do I go about that?
I had tried selecting everything and saving it as a .css file, which it did...but nothing happened to the page or changed when I tried to delete the
sample text...I resaved the html page, and the table height shrunk due to no text.
Again...I hope that makes sense.
Thanks again David.
