Hi Travis,

there are still a couple of mistakes in your CSS, the most severe being in  
the .content selector. You specified a keyword and a value for the  
orientation of the background image:

	background: #F0F0E4 url(../graphics/watermark.jpg) no-repeat center 0px;

This is not allowed, as the specification clearly states:  "Keywords  
cannot be combined with percentage values or length values" [1].
Accordingly, when you view your page in Opera you will notice that this  
whole CSS-rule is ignored, leaving the visitor with red text on red  
background.

Change your rule to something like:

	.content {
		background: #F0F0E4 url('watermark.jpg') no-repeat center;
		padding-bottom: 15px;
	}

and all is well :-)


btw, a construction like

	<td>
	  <div>
	    [some content]
	  </div>
	</td>

does not make much sense to me. Why would you not put any classes and IDs  
into the <td> tag and omit the <div>?

Apart from that, nice work!


Cheers,

jens
