Your CSS usages are a bit strange. For example, you have -
body {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
border: thin none #FFFFFF;
background-color: #007eff;
margin-left: -370px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
background-image: none;
}
* You are specifying points for your font size - that's a
poor web practice.
Use pixels, em, en, ex, percents, or size names instead.
* You are specifying a large negative margin for the body
tag. That's goofy
at best. I can see that you are hoping to center your page
like this, but
there are much better ways. Try placing all your content
within a single
fixed-width div with margin-left/right at auto, e.g.,
#wrapper { width:740px; margin:0 auto; }
If you do this, you should also do this -
body { text-align:center; }
and then add to the #wrapper rule -
text-align:left;
This accounts for strange behavior in IE6 and earlier.
* You have ABSOLUTELY positioned the body tag - why on earth?
I believe if you bring your practices within normal scope,
you will see DW
respond.
