i just need help with one lil thing--do you hafta put this <!-- and then this --> at the end but before or after the lil < /style> thingy?? lol

no you dont. The only reason those are there is if you are using a really old browser that doesnt support css, then it will ignore it instead of making it all messed up. I never use those anymore, but it doesnt hurt to use them if you have visitors who are not using IE 5+

thanks! just was curious lol
