Ok, I'm not sure if this topic belongs on this board...but I didn't know where else to put it. Here (http://freewebs.com/mmfl) is the page I'm working on. I'm wanting to get the Members section to be to the right of the image. But no matter what I do it ends up below it. Here is my code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<font color="#FFFFFF">
<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:50px;border:0px solid black;border-top:250px;width:510px;border-top:0px;">
<img src="mm.png">
<div style="position:absolute;top:600px;left:5px;border:0px solid black;border-top:250px;width:490px;border-top:0px;">

It looks to me like you forgot to include </div> in order to end the layer :) .

In the words of Mary Poppings, aah hahahaha! Thank you so much. That's exactly what I'd done wrong.
