Thank you Lisa and others who answered.

The resolution for the margins was right on. Resolved...

The background is not quite resolved. I did what Lisa suggested and it 
worked, but it is not what I wanted to do. I wanted the background in the 
first TD not in the nested table. How would that be implemented?

Also, I noticed that the text does not resolve the same in NN and IE. The 
heading in the box should be oblique as shown in IE, but does not render 
that way in NN. Is there another setting I am missing in CSS?

I apologize for my questions, but I am trying to use CSS more in my designs 
and it ain't always as clear as the examples in the books.

thanks

Nate
