Listers, I appreciate the tone on this list, that makes a novice like me comfortable in asking for help. On my FreePage, freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ryderancestors/, I have 4 boxes on the index.html page for the 4 principal surnames in my and my wife’s ancestry. They are placed as I want them in IE 8, Firefox 4, Chrome and Safari, but the bottom two boxes overlap the bottom RootsWeb banner. I don’t know how to fix that. Thanks, David

Hi, putting a < br clear=all> at the bottom of your page would force all floating objects to be placed before the break. -R.

Rod, I am playing with the site using your suggestion. Where do you suggestion placing the code? I put it between the rw footer table and the ending div for the content. I also placed it before the ending content div and got the same results. In Opera it only moves up one line or so. Does it work for you and in what browser? This is not my site but I am curious.

OK some problems with that in some browsers. This seems to work in all, albeit differently in some: < hr style="margin-top:6in"> -R.

Nothing is done to your content, and the Rootsweb container div is told to do the right thing. Adjust the margin-bottom as required. Barry
