Dingley's remarks were pretty mild and he did earn a right by
being so forthcoming in his lesson on the div. Plus, my feeling
from the very start of this thread, - am I too cynical? - given
the general competence of the functionality of the OPs site, the
question was altogether too innocent. How the hell do you think a
feller that types up his code, controls his frames, makes the css
with - why, hell's bells - a different coloured image to class
different list item markers and on and on, would have learnt all
this without a clue at how to look up what a <div> is? There may
well have been a more sophisticated question.

We are not talking a country bumkin stuck out in the middle of
goddamn nowhere with a tattered old '97 html book that has
nothing of divs in it - he drives and loves BMWs for God's sake,
mark of the wiseguy city slicker big time.

Let me just be wildly bold as I am thoroughly enjoying the start
to my day: he was really wanting nice things to be said about his
site. And he did not get it.

I know, I am horrible, but it is just a helpless dynamic in the
brain...
