Hi Phyllis,

Here's a coupla things that might be worth a shot. If you want the flower
pattern to appear in the left margin only--that is, NOT repeat on the right
side on high resolution screens, add the following three lines in the HEAD
section:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {background-repeat: repeat-y;}
</STYLE>

This forces the bacground GIF to repeat vertically down the page, but not
horizontally. If you do this, then high-res viewers will see your brown
color in the right margin. If you want the entire background to be white,
regardless of resolution, change bgColor=#cc9900 to bgcolor="#FFFFFF" or
bgcolor="white" (in any case, the color definition is supposed to be
contained in quotes--it usually doesn't matter, but it might in the future).

You could also change the table width from WIDTH=600 to WIDTH="90%" (or
whatever percentage you like). That way, the table will always take that
percentage of the screen width, regardless of what the viewer's resolution
is.
