Thanks a lot. That does look a lot better.

With those corrections, I can now copy and paste the css into the
validator and I get "NO" errors. If I use the url I still get 16 :-)
I'll try and clean up the HTML next.

I'm not sure I understand. One bad problem I have is that the text in
the middle table will not stay within the table border to the right when
I resize the browser to 800. I've not seen this happen before. But I
will try and experiment with the em and see if it works.
