hi mark,

thanks for the reply. i was able to figure it out on my own, but I do appreciate that you took the time out to help.

there are some problems though. header and footer ads are gone, and I was able to take out the google advertisment on the side. but, what is strange is that there is a period "." in place where the table was in Firefox. but, when I use IE, there is no period.

also, spacing seems to be inconsistent between IE and Firefox, particularly when I added a test logo in the header section. the tabs are not inline with the two horizontal lines running across the screen. There is a gap. I tried various logos and sometimes the tabs are perfectly positioned, other times the tabs are right on top of the lines, or there is a gap. have you heard of these problems before? do you happen to know how i can fix them?

i'd really appreciate your help.
