Hi Ann,

Hmmm - so the reason must be something else...

Did you already
- validate your (X)HTML?
http://validator.w3.org/ (online pages) or
http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html (local pages)
- validate your CSS?
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator.html or
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-upload.html

Do you use HTML or XHTML?

For XHTML, it *might* be important to have
#headerBoxTraining h1 {...} (lower case) instead of
#headerBoxTraining H1 {...} .

Not sure because I always use XHTML and CSS *all* lower
case, like so:

<div id="header-box-training"><h1>Header 1</h1></div>

#header-box-training h1 {...} , etc.

If all the above fails: do you have some URL to look at your
codes?


Regards,
Gerhard
