Thanks for the response.  I posted here when I couldn't find a useful hint
at glish.com or a couple of other sites I usually investigate.

The problem is that the <.div> holding the bottom text navigation should
appear below both the main content and the text navigation <.div>s.  And
both of those can grow indefinitely; either could be the longer one. I
simply can't figure out what sort of properties to give that pesky <.div>.
The current layout uses a simple 2 x 2 table, with the bottom left one
essentially empty.

And maybe that's the best way to frame the question:  How can I use CSS to
mimic a 2 x 2 <.table> ?

Thanks again,
