Hey Eric, I haven't coded in ages so I don't know where on the website it is but I know on the W3C website, you can run your webpages through a script thingo and it will pick out all the problems you have

Really Manny? All my websites that I did all had to be ran through the HTML and CSS validator...though I had to do this for Tafe as well heheh

i have used the <div> class to separate sections on the page

lets says there is the #sectiona, #sectionb, and the #footer

#sectiona { float: right;}
#sectionb { margin-right: 280px} <---- so everything stays to the left of #sectiona

and
#footer { clear: both;} so it stays under both #sectiona and #sectionb

problem is, when content in #sectionb is less than content in #sectiona (or vise versa) theres a blank space, a hole, - where you can see the background.

ive been reading through properties and values of flow, overfill, clear, padding, margin... but i cant find the right one to fix it.

anyone?

wait until exam timetables are out again, then view them with firefox. sometimes it goes nuts and you have to horizontal scroll for ages
