skb,

1st I appreciate the spell check!

2nd Unfortunately the  site was created before I got here and I
      cannot really  vary from how things (colors, etc.) have been
implemented.

3rd I apologize for the "guys" comment, the was meant to be used like "all
of man-kind"
(meaning everyone regardless of sex, race, etc. )

=====================================

I will compare the html that you sent with what I have. Thank you.
Just FYI,

The content often changes a lot.  I like to use seperate tables, because I
only
need to change the layout of one table.

If a portion of the page needs to be wider, I don't have to change the
overall width of the one long
table, and tweak each td by hand.

Thanks for you input!
