Hi Sam, Andy,

Thanks for your help on this - removing the height worked a treat. In =
answer
to Sam's question about centering, I had intended to center, but not the
text - I wanted the whole site centered on screen. I removed the =
position:
relative - with the margin: auto set, and the margin-top set to 80px, =
this
worked. It appears to be OK in FF 2.0.0.9 and IE7 on XP - using
browsercam.com, it seems to be OK for IE6 as well. There is one =
exception -
this is the layer that floats at the top right, containing the links. =
This
is not locked in place, so I will work on relocating this so that it =
stays
in the right place.

Thanks guys!

Alex.

Hi Alex,

With the left: 179px; on your wrapper is that there for a reason? It =
looks a
bit odd on my monitor are you really wanting to center on the page?

As Tony has said, remove the height on your wrapper and things will =
work.

Assuming you did want it centered this is what I would change in the css

body {
text-align:center;
}
#wrapper {
text-align:left;
width: 730px;
border: 1px solid black;
position: relative;
margin-top:80px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}


Regards
Sam Morgan
