Well we have you half way there, no if you would fix your signature....
And no one said that you should not trim you quotes as I have done here
to dorayme's remarks that I do not need to repeat...

Of course not! As I illustrated in a previous message to you:

http://message-id.net/%3C658a1$449088eb$40cba777$9375@NAXS.COM%3E

A floated element *must precede* the normal flowed element in your
markup to affect any change to the flow of the element with normal flow!

So your floated UL must appear before your 'layout' table in the HTML if
you want the float to to have any effect. Also UL are 100% wide by
default and will need a specified width. Pixels is *not* a good option
for that value because when one enlarges the font it will break your menu.

Yep! A period is not a signature marker, it is 2 hyphens followed by a
space and then a carriage return.
