texte = I would resist the urge to frame the pages because your pages load so quickly. I would nest the whole thing in a table of fixed width, a single row and two cells. Inside the left cell, which is the same width as the color band, nest a table for the navigation. Then text will be centered and simply wrap if it's too wide.Look at www.purezone.com. The header is in a separate frame but the body is set up this way. It will stay the same width and positioning in any browser, and on any platform.By the way, be sure to announce your site to www.macintouch.com. I'm sure he'd add it as a news item.-Pat-----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Grome [mailto:ken@webdna.net] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 1998 3:22 PM To: WebDNA-Talk@smithmicro.com Subject: Re: MacFinder -- a new WebDNA web site>>I'm planning to launch the MacFinder web site next week: >>http://macfinder.com > >Nice site, Ken!

That means each visitor's browser can override the font size settings in my templates, and then the text on the left spills over to the white area.
